Seymchan Pallasite Meteorite (Complete Transitional Slice with Space Gems) - Magadan District, Russi
Seymchan Pallasite Meteorite (Complete Transitional Slice with Space Gems) - Magadan District, RussiaThis complete Seymchan slice originates from one of the pallasitic masses of the fall that occurred in Central Siberia. It is neither completely composed of metal, nor does it contain crystals throughout. This specimen originated from a large mass in the asteroid belt where the transition between an iron meteorite and a stony meteorite was at its interface. This mass then broke apart - probably from the impact of another asteroid. Studded with extraterrestrial olivine and peridot crystals in one area, and a continuous nickel-iron matrix in another, this gorgeous complete slice is further distinguished by a highly polished perimeter. -- source link
