Forged from genuine Muonionalusta Meteorite and Sterling Silver, this striking hammer pendant draws immediate inspiration from Mjolnir, the legendary hammer of Norse mythology. The head of the pendant features authentic Muonionalusta Meteorite etched to reveal the distinctive Widmanstätten pattern formed through extraordinarily slow cooling within the core of an ancient asteroid over billions of years. A sculpted .925 Sterling Silver handle provides bold contrast against the meteorite's geometric metallic structure, creating a design that feels both ancient and modern in character. Compact, yet visually commanding, the pendant carries strong symbolic appeal while incorporating material older than Earth itself! Distinctive, wearable, and undeniably conversation-worthy, this piece would make an especially memorable Father's Day gift for collectors, mythology enthusiasts, and admirers of spaceborne materials.

Estimate: $400 - up.
