This one-of-a-kind pendant is carved from genuine impactite recovered from the ancient Rochechouart meteorite impact structure in France. Formed when a meteorite struck Earth approximately 200 million years ago, Rochechouart impactite is a remarkable geological material created through the immense pressures and temperatures generated during the impact event.
The pendant has been shaped and polished by hand while retaining a natural raw edge along its base, preserving part of the stone’s original character and providing a visual reminder of the powerful forces that created it.
Set into the front of the pendant is a central inlay featuring three impact-related materials: Libyan Desert Glass, Indonesian tektite, and Tibetan tektite. Each was formed through extraordinary natural events involving intense heat, transformation, and the interaction of Earth with forces beyond its atmosphere.
The reverse of the pendant features a circular crater-inspired inlay containing a fragment of Campo del Cielo meteorite. This design serves as a symbolic impact crater, linking the meteorite itself to the impactite and tektites displayed on the front. Together, these materials tell a story spanning millions of years and multiple impact events across different regions of the world.
The pendant is suspended from an adjustable waxed polyester braided cord, allowing it to be worn comfortably at a variety of lengths.
From a geological perspective, this piece brings together materials associated with meteorite impacts, impact glass formation, and extraterrestrial matter. For collectors, it represents a wearable study of planetary processes and deep time.
Within crystal and spiritual traditions, impactites, tektites, meteorites, and Libyan Desert Glass are often associated with transformation, personal evolution, expanded perspective, and connection to the wider cosmos. Many practitioners value these materials for their symbolic relationship to change, resilience, and the meeting of celestial and terrestrial forces.

Please Note: This piece contains a genuine exposed fragment of Campo del Cielo meteorite. Like many iron-bearing historical and geological materials, the surface may naturally darken or develop a patina over time. This gradual change is part of the character of the material and reflects its ongoing interaction with the environment. A protective wax coating has been applied to help preserve the meteorite while still allowing the natural metal to remain visible and touchable.
Please note: This is a unique handmade piece created from natural materials. Variations, inclusions, textures, and surface features are part of the character of the specimen and reflect the natural processes that formed it.
