FAQ
It is 100% genuine meteorite and sterling silver top.
Are the edges all rounded or is one side jagged?Most are rounded but I do have a few that are jagged if you prefer they are the same price.
Is the material breakable or bendable?Yes, but it would take much more than a human to bend it by hand. Breaking it would be even more difficult.
Are each pendant different from one another?Yes, they slightly vary.
Is there a protective coating? Will it rust?There is no coating and the pendant can rust if worn in the shower or pool and not dried well.
