The World’s Most Expensive Guitar Picks

May 27, 2008 | Posted by bLavish as The Most Expensive at 10:00 am | (7) Comments »

The world’s most expensive guitar picks are not crafted of gold or platinum, but of Gibeon meteorite. Yep, said to be around 4 billion years old, the Gibeon meteorites were found in Namibia back in 1836.

While the sale & export of these precious meteorites was banned, pieces are still found on the market today, such as these beautiful guitar picks that have been made of the same Gibeon meteorite. Notice the fascinating Widmanstatten lines that indicate their freezing journey through space.

Cost of these two babies? $4,674.

I don’t believe that the meteorite is the best material for the picks…
@crazyXmarine: I’m quite sure that you can undoubtedly prove those 4,5 zillion years?

Holy Shit I just purchased one and a f****g Alien landed in my back yard and wanted it back. Caution when purchasing a pick from space you have to ask the Aliens permission to use it.
