Catching Spring Fire
Meteorite & Peridot Earrings
Big news from Maine. On Tuesday May 17, 2016 a major meteor fireball was seen over the Western Mountains of Maine, and captured on video.
People will be out on the Appalachian Trail and fanning out into the surrounding woods, eyes open, looking for evidence of a fall.
The Maine Mineral & Gem Museum is offering a $20,000 reward for a one-kilogram-plus piece of the newly fallen Maine meteorite. We too might have an interest in a smaller verifiable piece. Our offer: $1,000 for one ounce.
This extra-terrestrial event just so happened to coincide with the completion of new earrings and a necklace called “Catching Spring Fire”. It has a meteorite from the Campo Del Cielo fall in Argentina combined with an oval earthly bright, brilliant, spring green peridot.
Meteorite & Peridot
A Marriage Made in Heaven
You may be surprised to learn that green peridot gem crystals are found in some meteorites here on earth. To a jeweler, gems from another planet tie our solar system, galaxy and the entire universe together. The laws of nature are universal.
While faceted gem peridot from space found in meteorites is exceedingly rare and very expensive, we have paired faceted gem peridot found on earth with Campo Del Cielo meteorites found in Argentina and previously from deep space. This combination speaks to the unity of all, the unity the stars.

90-Day Returns/Exchanges
Our extended ninety days, for a small business, is almost unheard of. Truth is, we shop for gifts too, and rather than scrambling at the last minute and feeling the tension of time, we like this more relaxed approach. We wish everyone did something like this… it would be a kinder, gentler world.
