WHAT IS TROILITE?
Troilite appears as a dark spot among a meteorite’s angular metal patterns. Geologically speaking, it is a rare mineral that is a variety of pyrrhotite. It is widely but sparsely distributed in meteorites, as well as on earth and in lunar soil samples. Iron-containing Octahedrite meteorites such as Gibeon meteorite, which we use for the creation of our meteorite rings, are prone to troilite nodules.
SHOULD YOU TAKE A CHANCE ON TROILITE?
If you find yourself troilite indifferent, you can forego the troilite-free meteorite upgrade and roll the dice with a meteorite engagement ring or meteorite wedding band. If you prefer no troilite, the odds are in your favor! Most of our rings and other accessories are crafted with pieces of the meteorite that ultimately result in no visible troilite nodules. And let’s be real, no matter what, you’re guaranteed to end up with a one-of-a-kind ring handcrafted from 4 billion-year-old rock that survived a journey to Earth from outer space.
