AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Spectacular large final cut of Sericho, a pallasite-type meteorite (iron-nickel rich), discovered for the first time in Kenya in 2016. This is a large meteorite suitable for a major collection or museum, in which we can appreciate some olivines on the surface, as well as its interior through the polished area, where we can see olivines in their spectacular iron-nickel metallic matrix.

Pallasites are very rare meteorites in which olivines are embedded in a metallic matrix. They originate 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, and therefore guarantee for life the authenticity of all our meteorites and jewelry made with this material. Buy with guarantees.

Best regards and our best wishes.
