Meteorite cosmic stained glass pendant.

This is a polished and etched slice of Sericho pallasite set in solid sterling silver. It has beautiful translucent peridot crystals.

This unisex pendant measures approx. 15mm x 20mm and would make an out of this world gift. Available on my website.
A small silver pendant with a tiny slice of pallasite meteorite in the center. It looks like a slice of cosmic stained glass. It is being held in front of a light and the peridot crystals glow a deep amber color. A small silver pendant with a tiny slice of pallasite meteorite in the center.

📚 Reading now : "Marty Feldman, Biography of a Comedy Legend" by Robert Ross

👍 Great book so far. Highly recommended.

Marty led a very interesting life before he came to Hollywood and was an accomplished writer, actor, and raconteur in England.

(🧵 1/2) Here's something you don't see too often.

Tail spike osteoderm from a Glyptodont (Glyptotherium Floridanum).

The armored beast resembled a giant armadillo with a spiked tail. It was about the size of a Volkswagon Beetle and lived in Pleistocene-era Florida.

Science is hard. You gotta prove it, test it, and reproduce the results. Pseudoscience is easy. You make it up, add some fear, and watch ignorant people spread it.

Successfully installed #BunsenLabs #linux today. Getting everything configured to my tastes and copying my files over. So far so good.

First impressions : fast and responsive, no frills, easy on resources, no issues or problems so far (knock on wood).

Cute cartoonish animated gif of a meteor flying through space. Weird animation loop of a fiery meteor with a screaming human face.

NOTICE MY HOME IS SCIENTIFICALLY LITERATE WE SAY CAN YOU PROVE IT? IS IT MEASURABLE? IS IT PEER REVIEWABLE? IF A BETTER EXPLANATION IS FOUND ARE YOU ABLE TO ACCEPT IT? IF YOU CAN'T AGREE WITH THIS, WHO CARES.. SCIENCE DOESN'T CARE WHAT YOU THINK.
