Type: Pallasite meteorite
タイプ: パラス石隕石

What makes this piece special is the amount and quality of its olivine crystals. 多量で質の高いオリビン結晶が、本品の特筆点です。
Many are extremely translucent, allowing light to pass through the slice and revealing the natural contrast between the crystals and the iron-nickel matrix. 多くの結晶は極めて透明で、薄片を透過する光が結晶と鉄ニッケルの基質との自然な対比を浮かび上がらせます。

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. そのサイズ・比率・結晶分布は非常に珍しい標本を形作っており、現時点で市場に同等の品が入手可能かどうかは把握していません。

A unique collector’s piece and an impressive display of one of the rarest types of meteorite. 唯一無二のコレクターズピースであり、最も希少なタイプの隕石の一つを見事に展示します。
