Description
Premium Set of All Three Types of Meteorites.
There are three different types of meteorites and this remarkable lot has a quality example of each one. A) Stony meteorite Dhofar 316, a 2.75"x 2.25" polished and etched section weighing 61 gms. It is dark brown interspersed with light grey areas. This Ordinary Chondrite was found Dec. 12, 2001 in the Sahara desert of Oman. B) Sikhote-Alin Iron-Nickel meteorite, a 3"x 1" cut and polished section with original fusion crust all the way around the edge. This famous meteorite fell on Feb. 12, 1947 above the Sikhote-Alin mountains of Siberia. C) Brahin Pallasite, a 1.75"x 1.5" section weighing 21 gms. from the rarest of all meteorites, Pallasites. These are a mixture of iron-nickel and olivine, originating from the core-mantle boundry of an exploded asterioid. This thinly sliced, superior specimen clearly shows the gem stone quality of the green-yellow olivine when held up to a light.
