Pallasite Rare XXL Endcut 407 gram - Height: 18.6 cm - Width: 10.2 cm - 407 g - (1)

Pallasite meteorites are among the rarest and most visually striking stony-iron meteorites, characterized by a unique matrix of nickel-iron metal interspersed with olivine crystals. This specimen, a large XXL endcut weighing 407 grams, displays the distinctive shimmering patches of translucent green to yellow olivine (peridot) embedded in a metallic matrix. Formed in the boundary region between the core and mantle of differentiated asteroids, pallasites provide valuable scientific insight into planetary formation. Collectors prize specimens like this for their aesthetic appeal and extraterrestrial origin, often using them for display or study. The polished surfaces reveal the intricate crystalline patterns, while cross-sections showcase the interplay of metal and crystal—a natural cosmic artwork born of the early solar system.
