Meteorite Pendant, Hecate's Wheel

Age: Quaternary (~1 Million years ago)

Origin: Scandinavia

Size: ~1" across

This incredible pendant is hand-carved from of a single slice of ancient meteorite, depicting the strophalos, also known as Hecate's Wheel. The strophalos is an ancient hellenic symbol, dating back to 2300BC or earlier. Today, it is frequently associated with invoking the power of the goddess Hecate in neo-Pagan and Wiccan traditions. 

The Muonionalusta meteorite is the oldest meteorite discovered to date. It was most likely part of the iron core of a planet, and is composed of iron, nickel and cobalt. The distinctive striping pattern of the Muonionalusta meteorite is the result of the meteorite's unusually slow cooling rate.
