Why is he called Gibeon?
Gibeon is the name of a meteorite. The Gibeon meteorite fell in Namibia thousands of years ago and is mainly composed of iron and nickel. It is famous for its crystalline patterns known as Widmanstätten figures, which become visible when treated with acid. These unique patterns—impossible to replicate on Earth—make it highly prized in jewelry and collecting. Local tribes were already using it long before its European discovery in the 19th century.
