“But how do you know it’s meteorite?”

A lifetime of working with metal. The inconsistencies in the metal. The ease of which the pattern is revealed. The layering in the pattern. There are more…

The most common question I get anytime I have this material on display. The most satisfying answer though? It’s just not that uncommon! Meteorites have been hitting earth since earth been spinning.

The Gibeon meteorite is around 4.5 billion years old, discovered in the mid 1800s in the Kalahari dessert.
