Discover our collection of Sericho, one of the world's most recognisable pallasite meteorites. Recovered in Isiolo County, Kenya, Sericho is renowned for its striking combination of iron-nickel metal and translucent olivine crystals, creating one of nature's most spectacular extraterrestrial materials.

Officially classified as a Pallasite, Sericho formed deep within the boundary between the metallic core and silicate mantle of an early differentiated asteroid approximately 4.56 billion years ago. This rare composition provides valuable insight into the formation and evolution of planetary bodies during the earliest history of our Solar System.

Highly regarded by collectors, researchers and museums, Sericho combines scientific importance with exceptional natural beauty. Whether displayed as a complete specimen, polished slice or prepared section, each piece reveals the remarkable relationship between metallic and crystalline minerals found within this extraordinary meteorite.

As our collection continues to grow, additional Sericho specimens and preparations will be added.
