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

This hefty metallic ball, weighing a robust 247.7 grams, measures about 1.5 inches (3.8 cm) in diameter and exhibits a contrasting metal surface, with light and dark shifts within the intense Widmanstätten pattern on full display. The sphere made out of the iconic Seymchan Meteorite from Russia has a bonus feature of multiple "glassy" patches representing partial Olivine gem crystals within the otherwise metallic composition. This is one of the most unique ways to present any Pallasite, and this dynamic orb showcases such Stony-Iron material superbly. This is a fantastic meteorite specimen.
Measurements: 1.54 inches (3.92 cm) in diameter, weighs 247.7 grams
