Admire Meteorite Slice
Pallasite, PMG
Kansas, USA - (38° 42'N, 96° 6'W)
Found: 1881

One of the ‘Rolls-Royce' varieties of Pallasites, Admire is universally coveted by serious collectors. This organically shaped slice contains numerous, relatively large crystals of golden-yellow Olivine over both of its polished faces. A translucent quality adds to the appeal of this specimen that weighs a nice 120 grams. This offering is thin but solid and presents a wonderful balance of various sized crystals with ideal contrast against the metallic background. This product of Kansas was first found in 1881 and still stands as a preferred Pallasite. This meteorite slice boasts two outstanding display faces as well as the organic natural shape, which rounds out the appeal of this rather idyllic collector specimen of Admire.
