AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Solid cube measuring 4.1 x 5 x 3 cm cut from the Sericho pallasite. Its polished faces expose an extraordinary density of olivine crystals in vivid emerald and warm golden-amber tones naturally distributed through a compact iron-nickel matrix, visible simultaneously from multiple angles thanks to the cubic geometry of the piece.

This cube has an immediately satisfying weight in hand, conveying the characteristic density of meteoric iron in a way that flat cuts simply cannot match. The combination of its three-dimensional format, crystal quality and the intrinsic rarity of pallasites, makes this an acquisition of the highest order, as striking as a display object as it is rewarding as a scientific specimen.

A cosmic cube meant to be admired from every angle.

Includes:
