Pallasite XXL Sericho pallasite - Height: 15 cm - Width: 10.7 cm - 133.6 g

100% authentic High Quality Sericho pallasite. "Pallasites" are meteorites that are very rare and in which olivines are mixed in a metallic matrix. They originate from the mantle of large asteroids and constitute only 1.7% of known meteorites. Scientists believe they originated from the violent collisions of early asteroids, either at the core-mantle boundary or through impact-mixing, about 4.5 billion years ago. This pallasite was initially named Habaswein, a town near the first discovered fragments, but eventually the meteorite was officially named Sericho, the area in Kenya where the impact occurred. A spectacular specimen to add to your collection.
