Description from the seller
Authentic pallasite meteorite with certificate.
Superb specimen.
Pallasite meteorites are very rare meteorites in which olivines are mixed into a metallic matrix. They originate from the mantle of large asteroids and account for only 1.7% of meteorites we know. Their rarity makes them pieces of great market value.
It has a superb outer crust with beautiful colors.
It weighs 74 grams and measures 4 x 4 x 3.5 cm.
This pallasite was initially called Habaswein, after a town near the place where the first fragments were found. Eventually, the meteorite was officially named Sericho, after the region of Kenya where the first impact occurred.
It comes with its own certificate of authenticity sent with the shipment.
We ship our lots in careful packaging and promptly.
We are members of the METEORITICAL SOCIETY, member No 54, and members of the GMA GLOBAL METEORITICAL ASSOCIATION.
Seller's Story
We have been meteorite hunters for a long time. Passionate about these objects which are pieces of interplanetary space, we are delighted to be able to offer, through our collections, exceptional pieces, which everyone can obtain to have a part of the sky in the palm of their hand.
Have you ever observed the Milky Way? Have you ever observed a shooting star? Have you ever wondered where this one fell? In any case, we do and were even able to collect some by hand to send them directly to your home.
Each of our meteorites is unique and carefully selected before sale, cleaned, often treated, sometimes sliced and sometimes polished using specific equipment.
Based in France, we provide meteorites from many different countries across the planet. These objects have traveled staggering distances to end up on our shelves and perhaps even in your home.
We provide certificates of authenticity for each piece.
We make it a point of honor to offer quality batches, sent carefully and quickly across Europe with a tracking number.
