I enjoy making hand crafted jewelry, especially necklaces. Below are samples of what I have done.
#5 needs some explaining. Outside one business I frequent is an area with some landscaping gravel. I have found some native American artifacts there, including this arrow head.
is Nantan a place?
Yes, the Nantan province in China, where the meteorite fell. Just about all of the meteorites on the market have a pedigree: information as to when and where they fell.
@Robotbuilder i live near Glorieta nm.There are meteorites here that people travel to find. I think the only ones similar are in Argentina. I can't recall the name of the crytsals that make them so distinctive right now
@Robotbuilder it’s so interesting. I have a fist size one from China. I’ve got about six different zones. And I’ve got different moldavites too. So interesting to hold something from another planet.
I love the earrings.
I made a lot of those earrings, as well as making q loot of meteorite dust bottle necklaces. Not one buyer. I need a different customer base.
@Robotbuilder I’ll trade you??
Why do you think it’s an artifact?
When viewed from the point, you can see a diamond shape. Also, small chips are visible in it. It;s definitely man made, and it's definitely old.
I have seen other rocks from that pile that sho' 'nuff looked like they were man made, but on examination, they were the result of rocks hitting against each other.
@Robotbuilder Could you get better pics?
It doesn’t look like it has been worked to me. And it’s kinda the wrong shape.
Weathering can do some amazing things. Turn stone into shapes that would amaze.
@Robotbuilder I mean, I could be wrong. I do have a degree in archaeology though, and studied with an amazing lithic analysist.
@Annaleda I hope these will do. If it's real, great. And if not when I hear some fool telling me the old "a watch implies a watchmaker" meme, I'll have a ready reponse.
Beauty of the Craft! ...and the Craftman or Craftwoman effort and sweat!
