SOLD

A slice of Sericho meteorite preserved in anti-cut resin, the slice is 29.74 grams.

Meteorite Sericho belongs to the rarest (and most beautiful) group of meteorites – Pallasites.
These are meteorites that combine mainly iron and olivines – they are often beautiful translucent in cross section.
Pallasites are the remains of destroyed planets and asteroids and thus contain elements from their interior and surface.
During the entire history of mankind, only about 60 pallasites have been found on Earth, some of which weigh only a few units of grams, so this is truly unique.
