AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Dimensions:
Weight: 286 g
Type: Pallasite meteorite

What makes this piece special is the amount and quality of its olivine crystals. Many are extremely translucent, allowing light to pass through the slice and revealing the natural contrast between the crystals and the iron-nickel matrix.

Its size, proportions and crystal distribution make it a very unusual specimen, and currently we are not aware of another comparable piece available on the market.

A unique collector’s piece and an impressive display of one of the rarest types of meteorite.
