Meteorite 

PHYSICAL: Nickel-iron meteorites are made of the material that composes planetesimal cores--the cores of differentiated asteroids, often. They are younger and more rare than their stony (chondrite) counterparts. Nickel-iron meteorites naturally attract magnets, and may display growth patterns or contain olivine windows (pallasite type).

HEALING: Meteorites are considered lucky symbols of the kundalini channel, and connection to the universe. 

Care for gemstones in sterling silver jewelry: 

As with all natural stones set in silver, these jewelry pieces should be removed when taking a shower, swimming, or entering a hot springs. Water (especially hot water) can damage natural materials and even cause settings to fail. This is especially true with gemstone rings!

*Though many gems and minerals have historical and cultural associations with healing properties, these items are sold for wear in jewelry, display, study, and collector interest only.
