Sericho Meteorite End Cut Pallasite Kenya - (1°5'41.16"N, 39°6'8.30"E) Found: 2016 This charming end cut of Sericho Meteorite weighs 1.5 kilograms (5.5 pounds) and offers a major duality with a cut and polished window side populated with golden crystals of Olivine that dominate its metallic composition. The rugged exterior is rough and sharp with a sublime curvature consistent with it being an end cut example. A relatively recently discovered pallasite having been found in Kenya back in 2016, this meteorite confirms why so many enthusiasts consider the variety to be the most attractive type of meteorite, especially when cut and polished into slices or end cuts like this exquisite, sizable specimen. Overall Measurements: 5.30 x 4.27 x 1.88 inches (13.45 x 10.84 x 4.78 cm), weighs 1,477 grams [Scale: 1 inch, with mark at 1 cm]
