Meteorite - Pallasite with Magnetite - unusual (Ref: 20.FC-051-(9154))
Sericho, Islolo, Kenya
33mm x 32mm x 25mm
minID: VQN-NNH
A very unusual Meteorite that is unlike any we have seen before. This is a Pallasite with many clustered Olivene blobs with minimal amounts of rusted iron "cement" which is magnetic. This makes this look like a conglomerate but close exam shows the Olivene and Iron are highly weathered but there are a few still bright spots. The Olivene inside the crusts is gemmy, from a yellow-orange color to some areas that are almost colorless. The Sericho fall produced some large and important pallasites, this one is unusual as there is much less Iron and a very high percentage of Olivene. Very different look that at first does not look like any typical meteorite! 25 GramsFrom: Well-Arranged Molecules
