AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

In this lot we are auctioning a beautiful complete specimen from Sericho, a pallasite meteorite (metal-rich), first found in Kenya in 2016. It is a skeleton-type meteorite in which the metallic areas and the olivines are clearly differentiated. Ideal for lovers of complete pieces with natural sculptural shapes.

"Pallasites" are very scarce meteorites in which olivines are embedded in a metallic matrix. They come from the mantle of large asteroids, and they represent only about 2% of known meteorites.

A fantastic specimen to add to your collection. Don’t miss this opportunity, as it is one of the few on sale that can be seen of this quality.

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