  How about guitar picks made from meteorites? Will they make your guitar-playing sound better? Will they give you a meteoric improvement? Naturally, they are priced more than your standard cheap picks.
Each meteorite guitar pick is custom-made.
The process goes as follows:
Each pick is cut from meteorite material,
then custom-shaped, ground and polished -
and on request Meteorite Guitar Picks also do custom engraving. Because
the entire process for each pick takes between 5-7 hours, they are not as cheap as your typical pick. But they are very unique -- you'll be the talk of the party!
If you want to know more about meteorites, here's an extract from the Wikipedia: A meteorite is an extraterrestrial body that survives its impact with the Earth's surface without being destroyed. While in space it is called a meteoroid. When it enters the atmosphere, air resistance causes the body to heat up and emit light, thus forming a fireball, also known as a meteor or shooting star. The term bolide
refers to either an extraterrestrial body that collides with the Earth,
or to an exceptionally bright, fireball-like meteor regardless of
whether it ultimately impacts the surface.
More generally, a meteorite on the surface of any celestial body is
an object that has come from elsewhere in space. Meteorites have been
found on the Moon and Mars.
Meteorites that are recovered after being observed as they transitted the atmosphere or impacted the Earth are called falls. All other meteorites are known as finds. As of mid-2006, there are approximately 1050 witnessed falls having specimens in the world's collections. In contrast, there are over 31,000 well-documented meteorite finds.
Meteorites are always named for the place where they were found,
usually a nearby town or geographic feature. In cases where many
meteorites were found in one place, the name may be followed by a
number or letter.
Meteorites have traditionally been divided into three broad
categories: stony meteorites are rocks, mainly composed of silicate
minerals; iron meteorites are largely composed of metallic iron-nickel;
and, stony-iron meteorites contain large amounts of both metallic and
rocky material. Modern classification schemes divide meteorites into
groups according to their structure, chemical and isotopic composition
and mineralogy. If you want to read more, go to this Wikipedia article 'Meteorites '. Meteorite Guitar Picks Website: www.meteoriteguitarpicks.com |
