The meteorite fragments are composed of an iron-nickel alloy with large concentrations of cobalt and phosphorus. What is Gibeon Meteorite?įrom a technical perspective, Gibeon meteorite is iron based and belongs to the IVA chemical group. The village of Gibeon in Namibia’s Hardap Region is the epicenter of the covered area. Not only must it have been an incredible sight, it was probably also very dangerous.įragments of the meteorite are spread across an elliptical area that measures approximately 171 miles long and 62 miles wide. Imagine how spectacular that glorious light show that must have been! I wonder what early inhabitants of Namibia thought about such an epic event. What an entrance it must have made! What a sight to see! Scientists believe that the meteorite exploded high-up in the sky and pieces of it rained down upon what is now known as Namibia. It’s easy to imagine that flaming ball of fire streaking across the sky. The Gibeon meteorite is believed to have entered our atmosphere about 30,000 years ago at the incredible speed of 17 miles per second.

#METEORITE ENGAGEMENT RING PROFESSIONAL#
My friends and family have been instantly wowed by the ring: 'crazy beautiful' is just one of their responses! I'd also like to emphasise that the whole team at HK seem to me very professional and really lovely. I'm not an overly materialistic person but this is something I will treasure forever. I can't emphasise enough how much the process of this creation has added to the ring itself.
Throughout, Beth patiently guided me and created perfect solutions until we arrived at a design and stone (a green sapphire) that is now a reality. Suddenly I wasn't only choosing a ring, but designing something with layer upon layer of meaning and, oddly, learning about myself and my fiancé along the way: about the symbols that mean more to us than others, and why the colour that had to be a part of it as opposed to those that I simply found attractive. Her designs were so imaginative and inspirational, that the whole process then reached a different level. My conversations with Beth were focused on both my ideal rings-the inspiration boards on the HK website were extremely useful–and what was possible within my budget. I was immediately drawn to the methods and ethos of the company, as well as their gallery, which is why I first got in touch.
