AI-assisted summary
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 about 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 named Habaswein, after a town near where the first fragments were found. Eventually, the meteorite was officially named Sericho, after the region of Kenya where the first impact occurred.
It has its own certificate of authenticity sent with it in 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.

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.
