Interesting article I saw today. Wonder if they were a witness to a great event or the pieces were just found on the ground and used as jewelry.

Hi Simmo,

Thanks for the link.

When the incredible Tutankhamun exhibition was in Melbourne in 2011, it included
jewelery that came from a meteorite.

I would guess out in the desert that meteorite fragments would immediately
strike a regular desert dweller as something geologically unusual and rare.
