Morocco: unclassified pallasite PMG stony-iron meteorite with olivine, weight 8.48 g.

AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

The pallasites are a class of stony–iron meteorite. They are relatively rare, and can be distinguished by the presence of large olivine crystal inclusions in the ferro-nickel matrix.

These crystals represent mantle and core material from differentiated planetesimals, which were destroyed by violent collisions during the early formation of the solar system.

As members of the IMCA (International Association of Meteorite Collectors), we guarantee the authenticity of all our pieces.
