"From Space to Style: Meteorite Hunter Transforms Ancient Debris into Timeless Jewelry"

Emil Davidsson, a meteorite hunter from Buenos Aires, has turned his passion for collecting ancient space debris into a business by crafting them into jewelry. He sells pendants made from small fragments of meteorites estimated to be between one million and 4.5 billion years old, as well as watches and rings. Emil has been on expeditions to the Arctic Circle and the Atacama Desert to find these rare meteorites, using a special metal detector to locate them. Each type of meteorite requires a different process to stabilize and reveal their unique features, such as the Widmanstätten pattern. These meteorites are remnants from the formation of our solar system and hold immense historical value.

Hunt for Valuable Space Rock on Earth.

The Maine Mineral and Gem Museum is offering a $25,000 reward to anyone who can find a one-kilogram space rock that recently crashed to Earth near the border between the United States and Canada. Meteorite hunters are already searching for the rock, which is believed to have landed in a wooded area near Waite, Maine, and Canoose, New Brunswick. The museum is looking to add the space rock to its collection, which already includes Earth's largest display of lunar and Martian meteorites. The reward is open to both Americans and Canadians.
