Meteorite:
Pallasite Sericho, full slice
Size: 16 × 10 cm
Weight: 158 g
Classification: Stony-iron meteorite, Pallasite
Composition: Large olivine crystals embedded in a metallic iron–nickel matrix
Find: 2016 near the village of Habaswein, south of Sericho, Kenya
The slice is coated with epoxy to prevent rust.

Because of its high olivine content and large crystals, Sericho offers an excellent view into the boundary layer of an asteroid — between its metallic core and silicate mantle — providing insight into planetary differentiation.

Frame depth: 4.5 cm
Anti-reflective, interference-coated glass
Built-in LED lighting for illumination / backlight
10000 mAh power bank included (rechargeable via any USB-C cable)


The plaque is in German. I can deliver a version in another language upon request.
