Rhodium-Plated Iron Meteorites

The identification was possible using LA-ICP-MS technology, which is beyond the reach of most gem testing laboratories. Meteorites are popular collectibles with wide usage as jewelry. Etched iron meteorites can be found as watch dials and bezels, beads, hololith rings, and pendants.
