AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Pendant Pallasite 'Sericho'....
Pendant dimensions: 49 x 36 x 12mm
With Buddha opposite the meteorite Séricho...
Treated first by electrolysis and then by epoxy to prevent oxidation.
The finest olivines in a structured iron matrix make this newly discovered meteorite a must-have for lovers of meteorites, pallasites, and unique, beautiful rocks.
History:
In 2016, two brothers were searching for their camels and came across several large, dense stones south of Sericho, Kenya.
There are no rocks in this area, so they decided they were meteorites.
They spent several weeks collecting them with engine hoists and moving them to their homes in Habaswein.
Though recognized as meteorites in 2016, the masses had been known to camel-herders for decades.
