Labenne Meteorites

Europa Star recently published a feature article dedicated to Luc Labenne and the work of Labenne Meteorites.

For nearly 30 years, Labenne Meteorites has supplied rare and scientifically significant meteorites to museums, universities, researchers and advanced collectors worldwide.

The article explores meteorite hunting in the world’s deserts, the scientific importance of lunar and Martian meteorites, and the growing interest in extraterrestrial materials for scientific collections and exceptional creations.

It also highlights one of the company’s areas of expertise: selecting rare meteorites suitable for precise cutting and finishing. Most lunar and Martian meteorites are extremely fragile and cannot withstand the technical requirements of high-end watchmaking or jewellery applications. Thanks to a large and diverse inventory of rare meteorites, Labenne Meteorites can identify the specimens best suited to these demanding projects.
