AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Tungsten ring with the Aletai meteorite is a truly special object, because it combines a modern industrial material with an ancient substance from space.

Tungsten: it is a very hard metal and scratch-resistant. It has a dark gray color, almost anthracite, and it retains its luster over time. Precisely because of its hardness, it is difficult to deform.
Aletai meteorite: originates from a meteorite fall that occurred in China, in the Aletai region. It is an iron meteorite, often worked to display the typical crystalline structures called “Widmanstätten patterns”, visible as natural geometric intertwinings.

Weight: 11.20 g
SIZE: 7 cm CIRCUMFERENCE
