Sericho meteorite Pallasitic - 24 g - (2)

Authentic pallasite meteorite with certificate. Superb specimen. Pallasite meteorites are very rare meteorites in which olivine is embedded in a metallic matrix. They come from the mantle of large asteroids and represent only 1.7% of the meteorites we know. Their rarity makes them pieces of great market value. They have a superb outer crust with beautiful colors. They have undergone anti-corrosion treatment. It weighs 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 has its own certificate of authenticity sent with the delivery.
