    Interesting STARBORN marked sterling 925 bracelet. The large chunky sections are magnetic so they can't be silver. I was told by a Vulcan and Valentine Michael Smith (they were having lunch at JINB) that the chunks of metal are meteorite or moldarite?? What say you, earthlings?

    Vitry, I'll be the first to say I know close to nothing about jewelry made from meteorites and/or moldavites...

    Have you by chance tried to contact Starborn? Their website is:
    http://www.starborncreations.com

    Just looking at the stuff on their site, I'd guess (and it IS a guess!) Agoudal Iron Meteorite - it looks closer to the chunks on your bracelet than the moldavite does.

    From their site, some Agoudal Iron Meteorite:

    Figtree3 What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    Good reply -- they have a lot of non-meteorite jewelry that looks interesting, too.

    The non meteorite stuff is desperately overpriced, but I'd love a lump of meteor.

    fun story~ in my country, meteorites are considered to be owned by the government because ''all things of scientific, historical, or archeological interest found in danish soil belongs to the state in order to study and display for all people'' but a meteorite fell and crashed through this lady's house, and landed on a table just outside her garden door :D so it never touched the danish ground, so she could technically by law, keep it~

    Owned, yes it will be listed by this evening. Gotta pay for a trip to France with my grand daughter, as promised when she was eight, when she turned 16. She's now 16, lol! We are leaving in March.

    shhh~ ;) any thing to avoid the increadibly annouying law on governmental ownership of finds~
    i mean come on, if you find fx a gold coin in the ground, done, its the governments.... if you find a single copper coin, or a smaller silver coin, a SINGLE one... then its fine~ as long as its after year 15 hundreds and something. but if it is 2 that are together in the ground? done, the government owns it....

    Those do look like some of the iron meteorites I have seen. If you look on ebay, I think you will see similar. This is a Campo Del Cielo Meteorite from Argentina ....

    Brad, I like your pic. Is that a self portrait, or is it, like in my case, wishful thinking?
