This is a wonderful and intriguing Martian meteorite space pendant which is made with a sample of genuine Mars meteorite dust, meaning it retailer was once part of the surface of the Red Planet! This chunk of Mars has been sent flying from the surface of Mars and around the Solar System for possibly millions of years where it has eventually ended up falling to Earth. The sample is dust collected while cutting a Martian meteorite. The meteorite was sourced from one of the most respected collectors of planetary meteorites in the world. The meteorites used have been analysed by a top laboratory and given an official meteorite number
