Meteorites Auction (What Collectors Want)

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

Tungsten: it is a very hard metal, highly resistant to scratches. It has a dark gray, almost anthracite color, and it maintains its luster over time. Precisely because of its hardness, it is difficult to deform.

Aletai Meteorite: comes from a meteorite fall that occurred in China, in the Aletai region. It is an iron meteorite, often worked to reveal the characteristic crystalline structures called “Widmanstätten figures,” visible as natural geometric intertwinings.

Tungsteno: è un metallo molto duro e resistente ai graffi. Ha un colore grigio scuro, quasi antracite, e mantiene la lucidità nel tempo. Proprio per la sua durezza, è difficile da deformare.
Meteorite Aletai: proviene da una caduta meteoritica avvenuta in Cina, nella regione di Aletai. Si tratta di un meteorite ferroso, spesso lavorato per mostrare le tipiche strutture cristalline chiamate “figure di Widmanstätten”, visibili come intrecci geometrici naturali.
