Description
Meteorites. Séricho Pallasite. Polished section. Approx. 9.50g. Approx. 6 x 5.5cm. Cross-section revealing the honeycomb structure characteristic of Pallasites. High density of yellow-orange olivine crystals embedded in an iron-nickel core. Stabilised with a protective epoxy resin coating. Pallasites originate from the asteroid belt. They are formed by collision with another celestial body. Upon impact, the molten iron from the impactor’s core mixes with the olivine-rich mantle of the parent body. These are the rarest meteorites (1 per cent of those falling to Earth) and the most sought-after for their aesthetic appeal (Ref. Géoforum). Sericho, Kenya.
