Nebula Meteorite Jewelry Product Review
The Nebula Collection is a unique range of jewellery containing real meteorite particles that are literally out of this world. Meteorites originate from the asteroid belt beyond Mars and fall to Earth as shooting stars. Even rarer than gold or diamonds, they are older than Earth itself and are estimated to have formed over four and a half billion years ago.	Nebula Meteorite

Meteorites are natural space objects that survive their fall from space and land on earth. Most of them originate in the asteroid belt orbiting between Mars and Jupiter and are over 4.565 billion years old, pre-dating the earth by 600 million years. Those that crash to earth burning through our atmosphere have travelled at speeds over 100,000 miles per hour.
	Meteorites are rarer than Diamonds, Gold or any other precious natural resource on earth. Metal make up only 10% of all the meteorites that reach earth. They contain a crystalline alloy of iron and nickel, gallium and germanium. The other stony meteorites contain all the elements we know from carbon, sometimes in the form of diamonds, as well as nitrogen, oxygen, silver, gold and palladium.
We now know the earth suffered giant cosmic impacts by asteroids and comets like the one 65 million years ago that brought the age of the mighty dinosaurs to an end. and allow the mammals and eventually ourselves to take over the earth. The Barringer Meteor crater near Flagstaff Arizona USA is a fine example of a more recent impact. The Hoba Meteorite in Namibia is 60 tonnes in weight but is believed to have weighted over 100 tonnes when it impacted.
	In ancient times when human beings sought the meaning and purpose of their lives in the starry heavens, comets were feared as portents of disaster but meteorites were thought to be in the messengers of the god. They were a useful source of unmined metals and were used by ancient Egyptians to cap their Pyramids and even had their own special hieroglyph, which meant "heavenly metal". many shrines and temples had meteorites placed within them. at the holiest Islamic pilgrimage site at Mecca the Kaaba contains the famous "black stone" a meteorite many believe was placed there by Abraham.
