Sericho meteorite Pallasitic - Height: 55 mm - Width: 30 mm - 97 g - (1)

Authentic pallasite meteorite with certificate. Stunning specimen. Pallasite meteorites are very rare meteorites in which olivine crystals are embedded in a metallic matrix. They come from the mantle of large asteroids and account for only 1.7% of the meteorites we know. Their rarity makes them highly valuable on the market. It has a superb outer crust with beautiful colors. It weighs 97 grams. This pallasite was initially named Habaswein, after a town close to 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 in the shipment.
