Sericho Meteorite Slice Pallasite Kenya - (1°5'41.16"N, 39°6'8.30"E)...
Sericho Meteorite Slice Pallasite Kenya - (1°5'41.16"N, 39°6'8.30"E) Found: 2016 Pallasites are generally considered the most attractive of all meteorite varieties due in no small part to the presence of greenish-golden Olivine crystals amid its otherwise metallic composition. The stunning slice, weighing a substantial 518.7 grams, is simply exquisite with virtually complete crystalline coverage over both smooth and reflective display faces. Many of the crystals are translucent, and the example of the Sericho Meteorite, recently discovered in Kenya, is as fine as exists and exhibits a top quality finish. The irregular shape is captivating, and both surfaces replete with the colorful crystallization are pristine. Overall Measurements: 9.65 x 9.29 x 0.12 inches (24.50 x 23.60 x 0.31 cm), weighs 518.7 grams [Scale: 1 inch, with mark at 1 cm]
