This listing features an exceptional 49.7g Sericho Pallasite Meteorite—a striking specimen from one of the world’s most visually captivating meteorite types. Composed of nickel-iron matrix embedded with translucent olivine crystals (peridot), pallasites are a rare classification representing the boundary between a meteorite’s metal core and silicate mantle.
The Sericho meteorite was officially recognised in 2016, although local populations in Isiolo County, Kenya, had been aware of the iron-rich stones long before. This 49.7g specimen has been expertly cut and polished to reveal the signature golden to green olivine inclusions, suspended in a metallic framework, offering both scientific value and aesthetic appeal.
Each Sericho Pallasite fragment is unique, and this piece showcases excellent olivine distribution with natural variation and structural integrity, making it suitable for educational collections, display, or private meteorite curation.
