{"product_id":"sericho-pallasite-main-group-individual-specimen","title":"Sericho - Pallasite, Main Group Individual Specimen","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe Sericho meteorite was recovered from a remote area of Isiolo County, Kenya, after two brothers searching for stray camels in 2016 came across a series of unusually dense stones scattered across a strewn field later measured at over 45 km long, west of Habaswein and south of the village of Sericho. Though only formally recognized and classified in 2016–2017, local camel-herders had known of the stones for generations, with recovered masses ranging from single grams to over 100 kg and total recovered material now exceeding 2,800 kg — making Sericho one of the largest pallasite falls known. As a main-group pallasite, it belongs to the rarest broad class of meteorite, composed of a nickel-iron matrix studded with olivine crystals formed at the core-mantle boundary of a long-since-shattered differentiated parent body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis piece is offered as a small natural individual rather than a cut or polished slice, preserving its as-found exterior character rather than the classic olivine \"stained-glass window\" appearance pallasites show when sliced and etched. It's a solid, affordable entry point into pallasite collecting and a good representative piece of one of the more significant meteorite recoveries of the past decade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApprox. specimen weight: \u003c\/strong\u003e4,56 grams\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rad Man Minerals","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54582838493468,"sku":null,"price":8.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0726\/5524\/1500\/files\/P9270096.jpg?v=1790535953","url":"https:\/\/radmanminerals.com\/products\/sericho-pallasite-main-group-individual-specimen","provider":"Rad Man Minerals","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
