Sericho meteorite Pallasitic - 24 g - (2)

Authentic pallasite meteorite with certificate. Superb specimen. Pallasite meteorites are very rare meteorites in which olivines are embedded in a metallic matrix. They come from the mantle of large asteroids and account for only 1.7% of meteorites we know. Their rarity makes them highly valued pieces on the market. They have a superb outer crust with beautiful colors. They have undergone anti-corrosion treatment. They weigh 24 grams. This pallasite was initially named Habaswein, after a town near where the first fragments were found. Eventually, the meteorite was officially named Sericho, after the region of Kenya where the first impact occurred. It comes with its own certificate of authenticity included with the shipment. We ship our lots in careful packaging and promptly. We are members of the METEORITICAL SOCIETY, Member No 54, and members of the GMA GLOBAL METEORITICAL ASSOCIATION.
