We Don’t “Make” Meteorites — We Carry Real Ones
We do not produce meteorites.
We are simply trusted carriers of authentic extraterrestrial meteor treasures.
Meteorites are rare gifts that travel through silence for billions of years before arriving on Earth. Wearing one is not just decoration—it’s a personal connection to deep time, cosmic history, and the quiet awe of the universe.
That’s why we built this independent platform:
to help more people own a genuine fragment of the universe—a real star-stone that has fallen to Earth.
From Space Science to Everyday Poetry (Our Design Philosophy)
Oriental Meteorite crafts fine jewelry using genuine meteorites as the core material, combining the rigor of space science with the poetry of design.
We don’t try to “copy” celestial bodies.
We aim to echo their trajectories—turning a cosmic journey into something you can wear every day.
We honor what makes meteorites extraordinary:
- Natural Widmanstätten patterns in iron meteorites
- The dawn-like warmth and inner glow of pallasites (olivine crystals in iron-nickel)
- The spiritual resonance and luminous transparency of Libyan Desert Glass, Tektites (Leigong Mo), and Moldavite
With restraint and timeless aesthetics, we let the material speak—so each piece retains the “breath of the universe,” not an over-designed imitation.
Where Our Expertise Comes From (Museums & Science Centers)
Our work is supported by two professional institutions located in China’s meteorite-rich regions:
Oriental Universe Meteorite Science Museum
Located in Xinjiang—one of the world’s most important meteorite distribution areas—this museum provides professional capability in public science education, research, and identification. It has also been recognized as an official Xinjiang Science Popularization Education Base.
“Fukang Star” Aerospace Meteorite Science Center
It serves as:
- A vice-chair unit of the Meteorite Committee of the China Ornamental Stone Association
- A member of the Urumqi Association for Science and Technology
“Fukang Star” Aerospace Meteorite Science Center
Covering approximately 2,000 square meters, “Fukang Star” was established by Xinjiang Communications Investment Group in collaboration with the Oriental Meteorite Science Center.

Real Sourcing, Real Network (Not a Middleman Story)

- More reliable material provenance
- More consistent access to collectible-grade specimens
- A clearer chain of trust from field to finished jewelry
