Sericho Meteorite "Monolith" Pallasite Kenya - (1°5'41.16"N, 39°6'8.30"E)...
Sericho Meteorite "Monolith" Pallasite Kenya - (1°5'41.16"N, 39°6'8.30"E) Found: 2016 This unique presentation is effectively a "monolith" made of Sericho Meteorite featuring several smooth polished surfaces, replete with golden Olivine crystals. The contrast of the colorful inclusions against the metallic background is what really makes pallasites so beautiful, and this highly dimensional offering has four discrete, at least partial, finished surfaces. The natural remaining exterior exhibits a rocky texture of shallow indentations over a strip of rocky exposure. This is one odd presentation of a popular meteorite. Overall Measurements: 5.70 x 2.17 x 1.86 inches (14.49 x 5.52 x 4.72 cm), weighs 521 grams [Scale: 1 inch, with mark at 1 cm]
