Esquel Pallasite. Stony-Iron Meteorite - 15.4 g
The Esquel pallasite was found in 1951 in Esquel, a patagonian town of Argentina. Only one mass as been ever found. It has unusually big and translucent olivine crystals.
Pallasites are considered by many to be the most beautiful type of meteorite. They are thought to originate at the core-mantle boundary of differentiated asteroids. They were then shattered to space through another meteorite impact until they fell on Earth. Due to their beauty some of them are used in jewelry or as aesthetic decoration.
This majestic meteorite is considered to be one of the prettiest pallasites ever discovered. The Esquel pallasite is highly sought after by jewelers for its amazing crystalline beauty, stability, and extraterrestrial origin. It is a must-have for any serious meteorite collection.
Weight is 15,4 grams.
