Description from the seller

Pallasite meteorite slice – 77 × 66 × 3 mm – 36 g – two polished faces – antioxidant treatment

Elegant slice of pallasite meteorite, one of the rarest and most spectacular types of known meteorites, composed of a natural mesh of olivine (peridot) crystals embedded in a metallic matrix (iron-nickel alloy).

Both sides are carefully polished, revealing the transparency of the crystals and the fascinating internal structure of this sidereal meteorite. A specific treatment has been applied to protect the surface against oxidation. The hues range from golden brown to olive green, depending on the transmitted light.

• Type: Pallasite meteorite (iron + silicates)
Dimensions: 77 × 66 × 3 mm
Weight: 36 g
• Faces polies: 2
• Treatment: Professional polishing + anti-oxidation treatment
Provenance: Kenya

Authentic collectible item, perfect for enthusiasts of minerals, scientific curiosities, or celestial jewelry. A refined piece, both aesthetic and precious, originating from the far reaches of the solar system.

Certificate of authenticity included.

Sent carefully and well packaged with a tracking number.

We are members of the METEORITICAL SOCIETY, member No 54, and members of the GMA GLOBAL METEORITICAL ASSOCIATION.

Seller's Story

We have been meteorite hunters for a long time. Passionate about these objects which are pieces of interplanetary space, we are delighted to be able to offer, through our collections, exceptional pieces, which everyone can obtain to have a part of the sky in the palm of their hand. Have you ever observed the Milky Way? Have you ever observed a shooting star? Have you ever wondered where this one fell? In any case, we do and were even able to collect some by hand to send them directly to your home. Each of our meteorites is unique and carefully selected before sale, cleaned, often treated, sometimes sliced and sometimes polished using specific equipment. Based in France, we provide meteorites from many different countries across the planet. These objects have traveled staggering distances to end up on our shelves and perhaps even in your home. We provide certificates of authenticity for each piece. We make it a point of honor to offer quality batches, sent carefully and quickly across Europe with a tracking number.
