Description
American Brenahm Pallasite 32.5 Gram Slice. 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. Although the local Indians knew of this meteorite, it was not officially discovered until 1882 and designated a pallasite which is a mixture of an iron-nickel matrix with crystals of olivine. This 2 X 1.4 inch 32.5 gram section has been polished on both sides showing several dark olivine crystals in the iron-nickel matrix. Estimated Value $200 - 400
