Meteorite - Sahara, size M - message stone of the gods

Meteorite - Sahara, size M, single piece

A meteorite is a rock that has fallen to the Earth's surface from space, i.e. an asteroid, part of an asteroid, comet or large meteoroid. Meteorites are classified into one of three main types based on their composition: stony, iron and stony-iron meteorites. Meteorites fall fairly evenly all over the Earth. As a result, more than 60 percent of them fall into the ocean, where they are never found. Most meteorites have been found in Antarctic glaciers and desert wildernesses. In the desert, water cannot break down meteorites, and they are also easy to detect.

Authentic and very beautiful meteorites are approximately 50mm - 65mm in size. Weight approximately 100g.

Symbol meaning

Meteorites have been considered sacred stones in many cultures throughout history and have been attributed with supernatural powers. To the ancient Egyptians, meteorites were gifts from the gods, containing iron, an element associated with royalty and divine power. The ancient Greeks and Romans considered meteorites sacred stones and placed pieces of them on altars and in their most important temples. In the native Hawaiian language, meteorites have had no fewer than five different names. For example, "flying god" (akualele) and "flying star" (hokulele) indicate the importance of meteorites in the traditional mythologies of the indigenous people. The Clackamas, a Native American people who lived in the Willamette Valley, Oregon, before the arrival of settlers, believed that the Willamette meteorite, Tomanowos, which struck the area during the Ice Age, was a gift to the Clackamas from the "People of Heaven." Tomanowos represented the sacred union of earth, sky and water. The meteorite's name "Tomanowos" means "visitor from the sky". The Clackamas would dip their hands and spearheads in water that collected in the meteorite's numerous cavities to receive a blessing from this mystical visitor.

Ritual use

Meteorites provide a tangible connection to the infinite universe beyond our own small planet. Meteorites are believed to channel the infinite energy of the universe and help us better understand the purpose of our existence. Because meteorites originate from outer space, they are said to enhance our connection to the universe. Meteorites are believed to be connected to the elements of earth and fire. They are believed to receive their power directly from the sun, thus radiating positive energy, warmth, and courage. Using meteorites as part of meditation has been said to help activate psychic abilities and clairvoyance.
