Unique Metals for your one-of-a-kind man for Fathers Day
Fathers Day is coming up fast and we have found the perfect gift for that special man in your life! Check out how we designed our own custom Meteorite band with Lashbrook Designs at Robbins Brothers!
Father’s Day is a celebration honoring fathers and celebrating fatherhood, paternal bonds, and the influence of fathers in society. The tradition was said to be started from a memorial service held for a large group of men who died in a mining accident in Monongah, West Virginia in 1907. It was first proposed by Sonora Dodd of Spokane, Washington in 1909.
Whether you’re a dad or have a dad, it is that time a year again to get something for your dear old dad! It’s currently celebrated on the third Sunday in June; Which means you’re gonna have to get him something like yesterday! Don’t worry though, we have the perfect idea for you!
It’s always so hard to find something worth spending money on for these holidays that seem to push the “gift giving” on society.
Good luck trying to go to the internet for help too! It’s always the same recommendations….. Whiskey Flask? A new graphic tie? A personalized knife? Camo Gear? Who does the internet think our dad’s are.. The guy’s on Duck Dynasty?
When we were wedding ring shopping for Leo though we found something so unique and special we think you’re going to love it too!

Meteorite
WHERE IS IT FROM?
Gibeon meteorite was formed in space four billion years ago. It exploded upon entering Earth’s atmosphere, landing in the desert of Namibia, Africa in scattered pieces over an area 171 miles long and 62 miles wide.
Four billion years ago
The Namibian government banned the export of Gibeon meteorite, as any newly discovered pieces are automatically protected as national monuments. This means that any meteorite specimens in circulation are of increasing value and incredibly limited supply.
As is true in general for Lashbrook, they source their materials as ethically as possible and their meteorite comes from that increasingly limited supply.
The origin and rarity of each meteorite ring makes it a distinctive piece of art.
UNIQUE CHARACTERISTICS
Gibeon meteorite features a distinct crystalline structure on its surface, a pattern found only in diamonds and gemstones. This visible crystal structure, or Widmanstätten pattern, was caused by extremely slow cooling of the material in space.
The Widmanstätten pattern will vary slightly between pieces, as will the presence of inclusions. Inclusions are dark spots or tiny holes on the surface of the meteorite that are often traces of metals that, in some cases, do not occur naturally on earth. These inclusions are an important clue to the meteorite’s origin and are identifiers of its authenticity.
The acid etching of the meteorite is the last step in the production of the ring. It is here where natural characteristics show themselves.
Up close and Personalized
There is nothing like a gift that you really have to put some thought into! With any one of these rings your dad will definitely know and feel all the love you put into customizing and picking out the exact one that matches his personality!
