Sericho Meteorite Block
Pallasite
Kenya - (1°5'41.16"N, 39°6'8.30"E)
Found: 2016

This most unique offering consists of a block example of the Sericho Meteorite which is rather thick and boasts a geometric form on all but one edge that was left 'natural' during processing. This Pallasite, from Kenya and found in 2016, is characterized by incredible golden Olivine crystals that are in evidence here with a showcase of relatively large gemmy inclusions against the clean metallic background. Shaped somewhat like a taser with prongs, this finished specimen is extremely solid, weighing 661 grams, and very elegant. This singular variety of Pallasite comes with a Certificate of Authenticity that confirms its characteristics.
Overall Measurements: 4.51 x 2.65 x 0.87 inches (11.45 x 6.73 x 2.22 cm), weighs 661 grams


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