AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Sericho Meteorite – Complete Specimen in Two Halves
A truly exceptional opportunity for the discerning collector: a complete Sericho pallasite presented in its two natural halves, with an overall combined weight of 85.66 grams of authentic cosmic material. Found in 2016 on the arid plains of Habaswein, Kenya, this extraordinary specimen has been preserved in its entirety, allowing the collector to appreciate simultaneously both the rough, untouched exterior crust and the dazzling internal architecture — a privilege rarely available in the meteorite market.
Each half reveals an interior landscape of olivine crystals in deep forest-green and warm gold hues, firmly set in a dense iron-nickel matrix that has remained virtually unchanged since the formation of our solar system more than 4.5 billion years ago. When held up to any light source, the olivines glow with natural translucency that transforms this meteorite into something that transcends science to enter the realm of natural art.
Pallasites constitute less than 1% of all meteorites known worldwide. An intact specimen preserved in two matching halves is an extraordinary rarity — a top-tier collector’s piece, scientifically significant as it is visually unforgettable.
A complete visitor from outer space, offered exactly as nature conceived it.
Includes:
• Certificate of authenticity
• Explanatory booklet
• Display case
Type: Pallasite (Iron-Stony)
Origin: Habaswein, Kenya (2016)
Composition: Iron, nickel and olivine crystals
Total weight: 85.66 g (two halves)
