Meteorite from Imilac, the pallasite of the Atacama desert on a brass support.

Imilac is a superb pallasite discovered in the Atacama desert in the 19th century in Chile. Imilac pallasite is, together with Esquel pallasite (Argentina) and Seymchan pallasite (from Russia), the most prized of the pallasites. It contains translucent peridots (olivine) of very high quality, honey to green color, these peridots are extraterrestrial. Thinly sliced imilac pallasite reveals all its inner beauty with translucent peridots that formed in space more than 4.5 billion years ago. The peridots are naturally "set" in a ferronickel metal matrix. The slice, sold with its polished brass support, measures 60 x 48 mm by 3 mm in thickness, for 29.96g.
