Description from the seller
XXL SIZE!! MUSEUM-QUALITY, WITH OLIVINE CRYSTALS ON THE SURFACE
Beautiful complete XXL-sized piece (weighing 1,272 grams, 1.27 kg) of the Sericho meteorite, a pallasite, first discovered in Kenya in 2016.
It is a museum-quality piece in which numerous olivine crystals are visible on the surface, giving us an idea of what lies inside. Ideal for slicing or leaving the meteorite whole for a collection or prestigious display.
Pallasites are very rare meteorites in which olivines are embedded in a metallic matrix. They originate from the mantle of large asteroids; they account for only about 1.7% of known meteorites, and they are among the most beautiful that exist.
Its name comes from the German zoologist and botanist Peter Simon Pallas, who first discovered a specimen of this type of meteorite in Siberia, Russia, in 1772.
Don't miss this unique opportunity to obtain a fantastic, exceptional, and exclusive piece for your collection!
