Description from the seller
Meteorite Sericho – Irregular End-Cut Oval Large-Format
Majestic end-cut piece with an oval and irregular silhouette of the Sericho blade meteorite, recovered in 2016 on the semi-arid plains of Habaswein, Kenya. Its wide and generous polished surface unveils one of the most striking mineral displays a blade can offer: an extraordinary abundance of olivine crystals in emerald green, vivid jade, and golden amber tones, distributed with a density and color richness that few pieces in this category achieve, all contained in a powerful iron-nickel matrix whose oval and irregular outline faithfully preserves the original shape this fragment acquired on its violent journey through the cosmos.
With 90 grams of mass, this piece belongs to an exceptional category within meteorite collecting. Its size affords a top-tier visual and tactile experience, simultaneously appreciating the raw metallic brutality of its unpolished exterior and the sophisticated mineral beauty of its interior. In the exclusive world of pallasites, which represent less than 1% of all meteorites cataloged worldwide, an end-cut of this format and quality is a truly singular find that is unlikely to be repeated.
A cosmic masterpiece of grand proportions and immediate visual impact.

• Certificate of authenticity
• Explanatory booklet
• Display case
