Meteorite American 57.6 Gram Brenham Pallasite. The Brenham pallasite fell to earth some 1,000-2,000 years ago in Kiowa County near Haviland, Kansas. It is the most famous of all American pallasites and was perhaps the largest fall of a pallasite in recorded history with over 6 tons of recovered meteorites. It was discovered in 1882 and designated a pallasite which is a stony iron meteorite that is a mixture of an iron-nickel matrix with crystals of olivine. This large 4 ½ X 1 ¾ inch 57.6 gram slice has been polished on both sides with more than 50% of its iron-nickel matrix filled with olivine crystals including some translucent yellow-green olivine crystals. Peridot is the gemstone version of olivine. Presented in a 5.5 X 4.5 inch Riker Mount.
