This specimen is a museum-quality, transitional meteorite between octahedrite and pallasite with core-mantle border. A truly remarkable piece for any collection, this meteorite slice includes a display box so it's ready to show off.
The pallasites are a class of stony–iron meteorite. It consists of centimeter-sized olivine crystals of peridot quality in an iron-nickel matrix. Coarser metal areas develop Widmanstätten patterns upon etching. Minor constituents are schreibersite, troilite, chromite, pyroxenes, and phosphates (whitlockite, stanfieldite, farringtonite, and merrillite).

FAQ
Pallasites represent less than 0.2% of all known meteorites. They are special because they have translucent yellow or green crystals of the gem mineral olivine (associated with the peridot gemstone) naturally embedded in the nickel-iron metal.
