Description: Size：2.6*1.7*0.4（cm) Weight: 3.7g Warm tip: because the Pallasite contains iron, contact with the air, easy to rust corrosion, so, I used epoxy resin to do the coating, wrapped it.This will prevent the meteorite from rusting and preserve it longer. Palease understand ! Kenyan Iron Olive MeteoriteOfficial Name: August 3, 2017Discovery location: Kenya Sericho 1 ° 5 "41.16" 39 ° N, 6 "8.30" E, Discovered in 2016Classification: Iron meteoritesHistory: In 2016, two African brothers searched for their missing camels and discovered something special while passing through Habawi in the southern part of Sericho, Kenya and several large, densely packed stone areas in the south. Because there are very few rocks in this area, they believe that these stones may be meteorites. They spent several weeks collecting these stones and then transferring them to Habave's home. Although identified as meteorites in 2016, camel herders have been aware of the existence of these stones for decades. An old man in the village said that when he was young, he and his brothers would play on stones.In early January 2017, Michael Farmer received an email showing a "huge original" photo weighing 107 kilograms. He bought this stone in Nairobi. Two weeks later, he returned to Kenya with Moritz Karl and headed to Habawi. Here, they displayed a pile of specimens, which were stacked in the yards of two houses. So far, 2.8 tons have been discovered.Petrology: Slices of several stones show similar metal/olivine ratios, with an average of nearly 70% olivine and less than 1% chromite. A slice measuring 15-21 centimeters shows 95% olivine in the area. Most olivine is round, less commonly symmetrical, while olivine is orange. The diameter of olive particles is generally 0.5 to 1 centimeter, although some ranges can reach up to 4 centimeters. A slice displays a 5-centimeter cross shaped nickel iron. Rare metal rich areas exhibit developed Widmanston textures. Shipping method: We will send out the order within 1-3 business days after confirming the payment !
