Rare pallasite meteorite shines in this small polished specimen! Please examine dimensions and scale photo carefully. 

This small, thin slice is polished Seymchan Pallasite meteorite, which was discovered in Russia in 1967. Solid metallic specimens are more common with this meteorite type, and in fact, discoverers believed it was a solid nickel-iron variety meteorite for nearly 30 years before it was revealed to be a pallasite. The greenish windows of olivine allow light to pass through in some areas, and gives it its distinct look—the meteorite is small but dense, cut into a rectangular slice, and will stick to a magnet. It would be ideal as a collectors piece or to be used in jewelry!

Meteorite 

PHYSICAL: Nickel-iron meteorites are younger and more rare than their stony (chondrite) counterparts. Nickel-iron meteorites naturally attract magnets, and may display growth patterns or contain olivine windows (pallasite type). Chondrites originate in the crust, nickel-iron in the core, and pallasites in the mantle (respectively) of a differentiated planetesimal or asteroid. Most meteorites originated in the Asteroid Belt, but some have been found with identical chemistry to Mars and Moon rocks as well. Pallasites are the rarest type of meteorite. 

 

HEALING: Meteorites are considered lucky symbols of the kundalini channel, and connection to the universe. 

 

 

 

Care for gemstones in sterling silver jewelry: 

As with all natural stones set in silver, these jewelry pieces should be removed when taking a shower, swimming, or entering a hot springs. Water (especially hot water) can damage natural materials and even cause settings to fail. This is especially true with gemstone rings!


*Though many gems and minerals have historical and cultural associations with healing properties, these items are sold for wear in jewelry, display, study, and collector interest only.
