Seymchan Meteorite End Cut Pallasite, PMG Magadanskaya oblast', Russia...

Seymchan Meteorite End Cut Pallasite, PMG Magadanskaya oblast', Russia - (62° 54'N, 152° 26'E) Found: June 1967 When it comes to the Pallasite variety of meteorites, the blending of colorful gem crystals with metal from space is one incredible combination that is hard to resist. With Olivine mixed into the metallic composition of the meteorite, a Pallasite is truly surreal. This relatively sizable Seymchan Meteorite from Russia measures well over 8 inches (20 cm) at maximum dimension and boasts a stout weight exceeding 1,500 grams. The smooth cut and polished, sealed primary display surface showcases a spectacle of crystalline color against a backdrop of mirror-like metallic form. Abstractly shaped on some level like the continent of Australia, this wonder from Outer Space, rather than Down Under, makes for a consummate display specimen with the bonus that this expansive irregular end cut has the dual threat of a mountainous and uneven exterior contrasting with a glorious face covered with golden crystals of various shapes and sizes. This piece is big, bold, and beautiful, but also a major collector specimen sure to be a focal point of any collection of Pallasites, or even just meteorites. Measurements: 8.39 x 5.00 x 2.65 inches (21.30 x 12.70 x 6.72 cm), weighs 1,505.4 grams HID09710052018 © 2024 Heritage Auctions | All Rights Reserved
