His job: to explore hot and cold deserts in search of meteorites to study and share with the world. His work is recognized by the entire scientific community. He frequently collaborates with museums and universities around the world.
Luc Labenne is a member of the Meteoritical Society, an official organization headquartered in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the University of Arkansas in the United States. One of the functions of this organization is to officially list new meteorites with their classification.
The meteorites contained in the Collision bracelets are certified by Luc Labenne. When he receives them, the meteorites are analyzed to define their chemical composition, origin, and nature.
Further analyses are carried out by experts from the Meteoritical Society to officially certify and classify the meteorites in the Meteoritical Bulletin and their online accessible database.
To determine the lunar origin of a rock, scientists use the samples brought back by humans during the Apollo missions as a reference. A comparative study is then conducted to confirm its lunar origin.
To determine the Martian origin of a rock, meteorite specialists use a technique discovered in 1983 by Donald Bogard and Pratt Johnson. It involves drilling the tiny bubbles present in the meteorite. These bubbles contain minute amounts of Martian atmospheric gases that match exactly the analyses made by the Viking probe in 1976. These same analyses are now used as reference by the specialists of Martian meteorites.
From machining the cases to crafting the elastomer bracelets and cutting the meteorite stones, each step of the process relies on the expertise of French artisans and manufacturers.

The blockchain is, first and foremost, a technology for storing and transmitting information. It offers high standards of transparency and security because it operates without a central controlling authority. Its users, connected in a network, can share data without intermediaries. You can think of the blockchain as a database that contains the history of all exchanges made between its users since its creation.
An NFT, or non-fungible token, refers to a certificate that allows you to be the exclusive owner of a digital artwork.
