FORGED IN SPACE:
NO TWO DIALS ALIKE
Forged in the heart of a dying star over 4.5 billion years ago, the Muonionalusta meteorite is one of the oldest materials ever discovered on Earth. Having landed almost one million years ago on Earth, it’ s composed primarily of iron and nickel, and also contains trace elements like cobalt and rare silicates not commonly found in terrestrial rocks. Some fragments even hold stishovite, a highpressure mineral formed during cosmic impacts, almost never seen on Earth.
Scattered across the glacial moraines of northern Sweden, fragments of Muonionalusta are uncovered through careful exploration in a remote, icy landscape. Each discovery is rare; each piece, from a finite source.
