AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

The Seymchan meteorite was discovered in 1967 in the Magadan region, in the bed of the Hekandue River, near the settlement of Seymchan.

Stony-iron originating from the core-mantle boundary of an asteroid, where molten metal has mixed with olivine crystals.
Some sections are rich in olivine, others are predominantly metallic, and some are even devoid of olivine — this type of structure is called a 'transitional pallasite'.

Weight: 50g
Measurements: 11x7x0.03cm
