Seymchan Meteorite End Cut
Pallasite, PMG
Magadanskaya oblast', Russia - (62° 54'N, 152° 26'E)
Found: June 1967

An end cut is truly the "best of both worlds" when it comes to meteorite specimens as it provides both the natural exterior contrasted against typically a cut and polished window offering a look at the interior of the extraterrestrial rock. This delightful example, weighing 410 grams, displays a face replete with gorgeous golden Olivine crystals, blanketing the otherwise metallic surface of the fine piece. Representing the Seymchan variety from Russia, first found in 1967, this specimen is nicely shaped and checks all the boxes one could want in a Pallasite. An ideal size, for most collections, this offering is a fabulous combination of shape, form, and visual impact. Seymchan is a stalwart when it comes to the Pallasite variety, which is often considered the most beautiful of meteorites.
Measurements: 4.43 x 2.96 x 1.46 inches (11.25 x 7.51 x 3.70 cm), weighs 410.1 grams
