*Special Note- Supply is very limited on these, as this meteorite is old, and rare, so what we have is available, but while we will try, no future stock can be guaranteed on these, it depends what we can get, and when, and at what cost. We will not raise prices on current batch, but future rings will be priced based on material costs.
This may be the most excited that we have ever been for a ring release! We were able to get a chunk of what is believed to be the oldest meteorite ever to hit planet earth, over 1 Million years ago! Want to hear something crazy? 4 Ice ages have been recorded on earth since this meteor struck earth, 4 Ice Ages! The Muonionalusta meteorite acquisition was the result of 4 years of trying to find pieces, and we are so happy with how they turned out, and we have included some close ups to see the beauty.
About The Meteorite:
Studies have shown it to be the oldest discovered meteorite impacting the Earth during the Quaternary Period, about one million years ago. It is quite clearly part of the iron core or mantle of a planetoid, which shattered into many pieces upon its fall on our planet.[5] Since landing on Earth the meteorite has experienced four ice ages. It was unearthed from a glacial moraine in the northern tundra. It has a strongly weathered surface covered with cemented faceted pebbles.
The Muonionalusta meteorite (Finnish pronunciation: [ˈmuo̯nionˌɑlustɑ], Swedish pronunciation: [mʉˈǒːnɪɔnalːɵsta])[1] is a meteorite classified as fine octahedrite, type IVA (Of) which impacted in northern Scandinavia, west of the border between Sweden and Finland, about one million years BCE.
The first fragment of the Muonionalusta meteorite was found in 1906 near the village of Kitkiöjärvi.[2] Around forty pieces are known today, some being quite large. Other fragments have been found in a 25-by-15-kilometre (15.5 mi × 9.3 mi) area in the Pajala district of Norrbotten County, approximately 140 kilometres (87 mi) north of the Arctic Circle.
The meteorite was first described in 1910 by Professor A. G. Högbom, who named it after the nearby place Muonionalusta on the Muonio River. It was studied in 1948 by Professor Nils Göran David Malmqvist.[3] The Muonionalusta meteorite, probably the oldest known meteorite (4.5653 ± 0.0001 billion years),[4] marks the first occurrence of stishovite in an iron meteorite.
The name Muonionalusta has Finnish roots: it comes from the name of the Muonio River (+ possessive particle -(o)n-) and alusta, meaning "base, foundation, stand, mat, tray", thus probably "base of the Muonio". "alusta" also means "from the beginning", "starting point" which may refer to possible first finding places "Muonion alusta", "from the beginning of Muonio-river".

Ring Sizing
Our rings are based on comfort fit sizing. We recommended having your ring finger measured at least twice to make sure that you get the appropriate size. In the case of the wrong size ring, we will do our best to make it right, but there will be a small shipping charge to make the exchange.
Also, please keep in mind that ring sizing is more art than science. Any given finger may be able to comfortably span a full size. Some (myself included) prefer a looser fit, where it will not fall off, but it will never put the squeeze on as finger sizes change during the day. One thing we promise, is that we will make sure that you get what works best for you!

Absolute perfection ![User picture]()
I could not have found a more perfect ring for my fiancé. He was so excited when he found out it had pieces of meteorite incorporated into the band.
The quality of the Dionysus ring is of made of the highest quality tungsten and the look is absolutely stunning!
Would definitely buy from Rings by Lux again.

Rings by Lux
I ordered three rings from Rings by Lux - two Dionysus Sandblasted Tungsten Carbide Rings (one each for my wife and I), and the gold Aries ring. The rings arrived very quickly and looked amazing! Unfortunately, the Dionysus was not available in my size. I tried to see if a larger size would fit, and it just isn't going to work out. So, we will see how the return/exchange process goes, but I'm very confident Rings by Lux will square me away! Even before I made my initial purchase, they were very responsive to email and answered my questions quickly! I've already placed an order for three more rings, and will update once I get feedback on the return/exchange process. At time of writing, I'm very impressed with this company, not only because they provide an amazing product, but also excellence service, which, if you've done any online shopping as of late, you can attest that service seems to be a lost art. I was particularly skeptical because I found them while scrolling on facebook, and I've been burned placing orders with companies I've found there. However, Rings by Lux is the real deal! I will only be buying rings from Rings by Lux( unless they just can't make a ring I want or don't have my size). This is a five star business. You'll get an email confirming your order, and they will send another letting you know when it has shipped. Order numbers line up and make sense. All the ducks seem to be in a row here and it's very refreshing. Thanks Rings by Lux for doing it right!
