Sericho Meteorite Cube
Pallasite
Kenya - (1°5'41.16"N, 39°6'8.30"E)
Found: 2016
1.14 x 1.13 x 1.01 inches (2.90 x 2.88 x 2.57 cm)

This little meteorite cube measures only slightly over one inch (2.5 cm) on edge but is replete with gold crystals of Olivine on all six sides in testament to its pallasitic classification. The cubic form is extremely popular in terms of meteoritic presentations, and this is a fine cube with excellent crystalline coverage.
