Our pallasite is of a very high quality for olivines and polishing.
Pallasites are the most aesthetic and by far the most prized of the meteorites, they are also among the rarest. Pallasites are sliced to reveal their great beauty with these translucent peridots (olivine crystals) formed in space 4.5 billion years ago. The peridots are as if naturally set in the very shiny metal matrix with polishing. This metal matrix has a geometrical pattern that can only be found in meteorites, the so-called Widmanstätten structure. Cutting, preparing and polishing such a large pallasite is a performance. Seymchan, a pallasite meteorite discovered in Russia.
