Intro This is a 1 of 1 piece. ‘Morphe’, Adorned with Mother Of Pearl, is inspired by the mysteries of our universe; in ancient Greek philosophy, “Morphe” is used by thinkers like P lato and Aristotle to distinguish between the material substance of an object and its form or ideal essence—essentially, what gives it identity and character. The envision was to craft a piece that reflects the idea of what life on other planet’s may look like, taking reflection of the otherworldly nature of the materials through fruition of the final piece in an “alien-like” design. Nicely weighted and comfortable in the hand, the blade measures a 4.5” (117mm) blade and 11.25” (285mm) overall. The blade holds a nimble and comfortable grip, built for both display and when a hardened and sharp curved edge is needed. The Meteorite The blade is crafted with the 4.5 billion year-old meteor, the Muonionalusta, discovered in 1906 near the border of Sweden and Finland by a group of children who found what they described as an unusual rock… Later it was studied to have traveled through the solar system for over 4.56 billion years before striking Earth nearly one million years ago. It was found to be one of the oldest meteorites ever recorded, with a crystalline structure consisting of iron and nickel formed over millions of years; that truly sets it apart from many iron meteorite species. Included is a signed Certificate Of Authenticity (COA) and custom-forged stand for displaying of the piece. ~ Tristan Show more
