Me: What are these?
Stone Man: Meteorites
Me: As in.. Meteors? (smirk)
Stone Man: Yes (serious face)
Me: (bright eyed) You mean.. these are from space?!
Slightly amused now, Stone Man explains:
There was a meteor that landed in Africa. It's a different combination of nickel and iron, not found naturally on earth. Yes, it's from space.
Instantly my mind starts imagining 2 guys racing to the meteor with a chainsaw trying to claim meteor real estate (think Far and Away, but without the Irish accents). Regardless of how it got from space to Africa to New York, it was a gift from space and we need to make jewelry out of it!

I am going to do a series of one of a kind space trash necklaces because space can't be duplicated! To keep updated on new pieces as I make them, and other photos of this necklace, go to my Facebook Fanpage.
