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

Reflecting light like a diamond, this pristine sphere of Seymchan Meteorite displays a mirror-like finish to the silvery, metallic surface of the robust ball. Weighing over 500 grams, this work of meteoric art shows off the broad, linear banding of the underlying crystalline structure revealed through an etching process. At some 2 inches (5 cm) in diameter, the metal orb is sizable and weighty with tons of decorative appeal.
Overall Measurements: 1.96 inches (4.97 cm) in diameter, weighs 506.1 grams

[Scale: 1 inch, with mark at 1 cm]
