Product Description

The Seymchan Meteorite is a pallasite meteorite found in June 1967 in the dry bed of the Hekandue river in the Magadan district of Russia, near the settlement of Seymchan. This meteorite showcases its signature crystalline pattern, which is among the most robust and lustrous of any meteorite. This exquisite natural design—referred to as a Widmanstätten pattern—is the result of the very slow intergrowth of two iron-nickel minerals (kamacite and taenite), which in effect makes this extraterrestrial steel! Molten metal deep within the core of the asteroid crystallized as taenite over millions of years of cooling. The amount of nickel determines the type of crystalline pattern that will form, making each piece incredibly unique.
