STONY-IRON
METEORITES FOR SALE |
Stony-irons are the rarest of the the three main classes of meteorites, and include pallasites and mesosiderites. Pallasites contain crystals of olivine, which in its purest form is known as the semi-precious gemstone peridot. When cut and polished to reveal their inner structure, pallasites are among the most beautiful naturally occurring materials known. These pallasite slices were a great deal! Sorry, all
sold out. |

| SEYMCHAN Pallasites with multi-colored crystals and transitional characteristics I am pleased to offer spectacular new specimens of the olivine-rich Russian pallasite Seymchan. Originally classified as an iron (IIE), new Seymchan finds have produced fabulous pallasitic material. As well as an abundance of colorful olivine clusters. Seymchan is completely stable and its current price is far below that of similar pallasites. I acquire this material directly from a colleague in Russia, and am therefore able to offer it at a very reasonable price. Many specimens are transitional in nature, in that they exhibit characteristics of both irons and stony-irons within the same slice. With comparable pallasites like Glorieta Mountain retailing at $25/gram and Esquel at $40/gram, this beautiful material is the best bargain in the meteorite world today. |
