Many Years Among the Stars: The Best of My Meteorite Collection
For over a decade, I’ve had the rare privilege of holding pieces of the universe in my hands. From ancient stones older than Earth itself to shimmering metallic fragments that once blazed through our atmosphere, these meteorites have been more than just specimens — they are time capsules from deep space.
Over the last years, I’ve collected and admired hundreds of extraordinary meteorites. Many of them come from the renowned Spacejewels Switzerland Collection, one of the most respected meteorite collections in Europe. Each stone tells its own cosmic story — of formation, fire, and fall — and together they represent a breathtaking gallery of extraterrestrial beauty.
A Decade of Discoveries
My journey with meteorites began with a small chondrite — a humble, stony fragment that once drifted between planets for billions of years. From that first specimen, a passion was born. Since then, I’ve handled everything from shimmering pallasites with translucent olivine crystals to rare Martian and lunar meteorites that literally bring another world to your fingertips.
Here are some highlights from my personal archives — the “Best Of pictures” from the past 15 years:
- Iron Meteorites
- Pallasites
- Carbonaceous Chondrites
- Martian & Lunar Meteorites
From Spacejewels Switzerland to Sahara Gems
Many of these treasures passed through the hands of Spacejewels Switzerland, a name synonymous with quality and authenticity in the meteorite world. Their expertise and dedication to the science and art of meteorite collecting have inspired countless enthusiasts — myself included.
At Sahara Gems, I’m proud to continue that legacy by curating a collection that celebrates both the scientific and aesthetic beauty of these space-born wonders. Whether you’re a collector, a jeweler, or simply fascinated by the cosmos, these stones are a tangible connection to the vastness beyond our world.
