Look up "Gibeon Meteorite."

Google is your best friend --- such as "Rolex Meteorite Dial."

Gibeon from Namibia I believe. And Rolex only uses the very best of what is available in terms of jewelers quality.

Meteorite dials are not super rare, but how would you determine the quality of a finished piece? I think they look interesting, and own a micro brand with a meteorite dial. I never really gave a thought to the quality. I’m just curious what differentiates the quality? Are there different ways that the patterns are presented? The only one I’ve ever seen in person is the one I own.
