AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A magnificent and large slice of a pallasite!
This pallasite was originally called Habaswein, a neighboring town to the area where the first fragments were found. It was eventually officially named Sericho, the area in Kenya where the impact occurred and where this was found in 2016.
Pallasites are very rare meteorites in which olivine of a metallic matrix is mixed, and they make up only 1.7% of known meteorites.
These come from the mantle of large asteroids.
This piece has been treated with resin to prevent oxidation.

The minimum price we are asking for this item is €100
