Imilac Meteorite End Cut Pallasite, PMG Antofagasta, Chile -...
Imilac Meteorite End Cut Pallasite, PMG Antofagasta, Chile - (24° 12' 12"S, 68° 48' 24"W) Found: 1822 This Imilac Meteorite end cut represents a top Pallasite variety and offers relatively large greenish-gold crystals over a silvery metallic, reflective surface. The polished face features a crystalline-filled cavity at the periphery. The exterior of this specimen is rugged in texture and rusty brown in color. The piece has substantial weight at 211 grams. The shape of the example is naturally artistic and conjures up a number of interpretations. The duality of the end cut coupled with the inherent contrast of crystal against metal results in a superior specimen of a superlative Pallasite. Imilac is popular among collectors, and this will confirm why. The relatively large size of the crystals adds to the allure of this highly attractive specimen. Overall Measurements: 3.01 x 2.88 x 1.01 inches (7.64 x 7.31 x 2.56 cm), weighs 211 grams [Scale: 1 inch, with mark at 1 cm]
