The Sericho Pallasite Meteorite is an extraordinary example of a stony-iron meteorite, featuring gleaming olivine crystals embedded in a metallic iron-nickel matrix. Discovered in 2016 near Sericho, Kenya, this specimen belongs to one of the rarest and most visually striking meteorite classes known as pallasites.
These specimens contain large, gem-quality olivine (peridot) crystals suspended within a matrix of iron, creating a mosaic of extraterrestrial origin. Pallasites are believed to have formed at the boundary between the metallic core and silicate mantle of differentiated asteroids—offering a glimpse into the deep interiors of early planetary bodies.
This Sericho specimen has been carefully cut and polished to reveal the stunning contrast between the golden-green olivine and silvery metal. It is a prized addition for meteorite collectors, planetary science enthusiasts, or anyone captivated by Earth's extraterrestrial visitors.
