AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

In this lot we auction a final-cut slice of Sericho, a pallasite meteorite (iron-nickel metal-rich), first found in Kenya in 2016. It is a sizeable meteorite, suitable for a sample collection, in which we can appreciate some olivines on the surface, as well as its interior through the polished zone, where we can see olivines in their spectacular iron-nickel metallic matrix.

"Pallasites" are very rare meteorites in which olivine grains are embedded in a metallic matrix. They come from the mantle of large asteroids and represent only about 2% of known meteorites.

We are members of the leading international associations related to meteorites, so we guarantee for life the authenticity of all our meteorites and jewelry fashioned from this material. Buy with guarantees.

- Members of IMCA with number #7412 (International Meteorite Collectors Association)
- Members of GMA with number #G0095 (Global Meteorite Association)
- Members of The Meteoritical Society with number #6667

Best regards and our best wishes.
