AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Impacto de meteorito Indochinita de 2 gramos.

Posee un color negro azabache que al exponerse a una intensa luz obtiene un color amarillo-marrón translúcido intenso, firma óptica secreta de las tektitas del sudeste asiático. Se encuentra engarzado en una rama de metal dorado y enlazado a una moderna cadena tipo cordón bañada en oro de 18Kt.

Se trata de una técnica formada hace 800.000 años por el impacto de un meteorito gigante en el sudeste asiático que fundió instantáneamente las rocas sedimentarias y suelos ricos en sílice. Este material fundido salió despedido fuera de la atmósfera y al volver a entrar en ella a gran velocidad, este vidrio fundido, se enfrió rápidamente y el roce con el aire esculpió el material dándole formas y rugosidades diversas.

Se le atribuyen propiedades energéticas y de protección contra energías negativas.

Una joya única certificada por uno de los mejores expertos en meteoritos "Cráter Meteoritos". Se envía con certificado.

Los costes de aduanas fuera de la UE correrán a cargo del ganador de la puja.

Seller's Story

Thousands of years ago, in the ancient cities of Greece, the AGORA was the heart of the community. It was not just a market; it was the place where people gathered to share ideas, discover the world, and marvel at knowledge. Today, that spirit is reborn, but on a much larger scale. Welcome to AGORA. Our story doesn't begin decades ago, but billions of years ago. It begins in the vacuum of space, where the violent birth of a star forged the METEORITES that you can touch with your own hands today. It continues beneath the Earth's crust, where the patience of the Earth combined heat, pressure, and time to sculpt the perfect geometry of the MINERALS. And finally, it meets us through ARCHAEOLOGY: the fragments of vases, tools, and coins that our ancestors left behind as clues to who we are. At AGORA we believe that the most valuable objects are not those that shine on the outside, but those that have a story to tell. We are not just a store; we are a meeting point between the cosmos, the Earth, and humanity. Each piece in our display cases is an authentic fragment of eternity. A witness of the Big Bang, a secret buried for millennia, or a relic of a lost civilization. Entering here is the beginning of a journey through time. We invite you to discover your own fragment of history.
