4.2ct Sericho Pallasite Meteorite Slice

This is a stunning 4.2ct thin-sliced piece of a Sericho pallasite meteorite. This spectacular meteorite has been fully stabilized and coated to prevent rusting. It is cut thin enough that it is transluscent and the peridot crystals glow when backlit.

Sericho pallasite meteorites are found in a 45-kilometer strewn field in eastern Kenya, near the village of Habaswein. This meteorite was officially "discovered" in 2016 after two brothers searching for their camels came across pieces of it. No other rocks were in the area, so they concluded that the rocks might be from space. Villagers spent several weeks collecting the material before bringing it to the attention of meteorite hunters. It was officially classified in 2018. Even today, material is still being found
