The Black Stone ( Arabic: ٱلْحَجَرُ ٱلْأَسْوَد, al-Ḥajaru al-Aswad, 'Black Stone') is a rock set into the eastern corner of the Kaaba, the ancient building in the center of the Grand Mosque in Mecca, Saudi Arabia. Some (myself included) prefer a looser fit, where it will not fall off, but it will never put the squeeze on as finger sizes change during the day.The Black Stone is seen through a portal in the Kaaba

Any given finger may be able to comfortably span a full size. In the case of the wrong size ring, we will do our best to make it right, but there will be a small shipping charge to make the exchange.Īlso, please keep in mind that ring sizing is more art than science.
We recommended having your ring finger measured at least twice to make sure that you get the appropriate size. Our rings are based on comfort fit sizing.

"alusta" also means "from the beginning", "starting point" which may refer to possible first finding places "Muonion alusta", "from the beginning of Muonio-river". The name Muonionalusta has Finnish roots: it comes from the name of the Muonio River (+ possessive particle -(o)n-) and alusta, meaning "base, foundation, stand, mat, tray", thus probably "base of the Muonio". The Muonionalusta meteorite, probably the oldest known meteorite (4.5653 ± 0.0001 billion years), marks the first occurrence of stishovite in an iron meteorite. It was studied in 1948 by Professor Nils Göran David Malmqvist. Högbom, who named it after the nearby place Muonionalusta on the Muonio River. The meteorite was first described in 1910 by Professor A. Other fragments have been found in a 25-by-15-kilometre (15.5 mi × 9.3 mi) area in the Pajala district of Norrbotten County, approximately 140 kilometres (87 mi) north of the Arctic Circle. Around forty pieces are known today, some being quite large. The first fragment of the Muonionalusta meteorite was found in 1906 near the village of Kitkiöjärvi. The Muonionalusta meteorite (Finnish pronunciation:, Swedish pronunciation: ) is a meteorite classified as fine octahedrite, type IVA (Of) which impacted in northern Scandinavia, west of the border between Sweden and Finland, about one million years BCE.
It has a strongly weathered surface covered with cemented faceted pebbles. It was unearthed from a glacial moraine in the northern tundra. Since landing on Earth the meteorite has experienced four ice ages.
It is quite clearly part of the iron core or mantle of a planetoid, which shattered into many pieces upon its fall on our planet. Studies have shown it to be the oldest discovered meteorite impacting the Earth during the Quaternary Period, about one million years ago. This may be the most excited that we have ever been for a ring release! We were able to get a chunk of what is believed to be the oldest meteorite ever to hit planet earth, over 1 Million years ago! Want to hear something crazy? 4 Ice ages have been recorded on earth since this meteor struck earth, 4 Ice Ages! The Muonionalusta meteorite acquisition was the result of 4 years of trying to find pieces, and we are so happy with how they turned out, and we have included some close ups to see the beauty.
We will not raise prices on current batch, but future rings will be priced based on material costs. *Special Note- Supply is very limited on these, as this meteorite is old, and rare, so what we have is available, but while we will try, no future stock can be guaranteed on these, it depends what we can get, and when, and at what cost.
