Sericho meteorite Pallasitic - Height: 40 mm - Width: 40 mm - 74 g - (1)

Authentic pallasite meteorite with certificate. Superb specimen. Pallasite meteorites are very rare meteorites in which olivines are mixed into a metallic matrix. They originate from the mantle of large asteroids and represent only 1.7% of meteorites we know. Their rarity makes them pieces of great market value. It has a superb outer crust with beautiful colors. It weighs 74 grams and measures 4 x 4 x 3.5 cm. 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 carries its own certificate of authenticity sent with the shipment.
