A man who hunts for discarded material from comets has made a business making the space debris - into jewelry.<br /><br />Emil Davidsson, 31, from Buenos Aires, Argentina, has made a name for himself with his skills in hunting meteorites.<br /><br />Emil, who resides in Bali, Indonesia, documents online his skills in gathering space debris from across the world.<br /><br />But he doesn't stop there - after collecting the meteorites he crafts the rocks into jewelry and sells his creations online.<br /><br />Emil creates jewelry from small fragments and his pendants start at €100.<br /><br />He also makes watches with prices starting at €395 and rings at €130.<br /><br />Emil has been hunting for meteorites for a decade and says they "are extremely rare and difficult to find."<br /><br />He has been on serious expeditions to the Arctic Circle and the Atacama Desert - the driest place on Earth - to find meteorites.<br /><br />Emil said: "I started hunting for meteorites in 2013. <br /><br />"Every year, I would go on expeditions lasting four to five months above the Arctic Circle.<br /><br />"Three years ago, I met my partner, Alexandra Levchenkova, and together we started expanding our search areas. <br /><br />"We went to places like the Atacama Desert, the driest place on Earth, hunting for meteorites at altitudes of 3500 meters above sea level. <br /><br />"We would camp there for seven to 10 days without hot water or any other facilities, an extremely wild place."<br /><br />Emil uses a special metal detector that has pulse indicators that emit high-amperage signals, creating electromagnetic fields around the detector. <br /><br />When there is a metal object "the field collapses" creating a spike in voltage that is represented as sound.<br /><br />If the meteorite is not on the surface he has to dig a hole by hand, which can sometimes be three-metres-deep.<br /><br />Once retrieved by Emil, the space debris will be turned into pendants and other accessories.<br /><br />Emil said: "Each type of meteorite requires a different process since all meteorites are unique. <br /><br />"For example, iron meteorites, are composed of 92-99% iron. <br /><br />"After we cut them into slices, we need to stabilize them using various methods because if we don't do that they tend to rust. <br /><br />"Additionally, we use nitric acid to reveal the meteorite's distinctive structure known as the Widmanstätten pattern. <br /><br />"This pattern is one of the most remarkable features of certain meteorites. <br /><br />"It forms through the slow cooling of molten metal over millions of years resulting in the formation of exquisite crystalline 3D patterns. <br /><br />"This unique crystallization process cannot be replicated on Earth as it requires extreme outer space conditions over millions of years."<br /><br />According to Emil, Meteorite jewelry is becoming more and more popular and there is a huge demand for the unique products.
