This polished Seymchan Pallasite slice reveals one of the most visually distinctive structures found in meteoritics, a rare fusion of Iron-Nickel metal and translucent Olivine crystals formed within the boundary layers of an early planetary body.
Originally discovered in the Seymchan region of eastern Russia in 1967, this Meteorite is classified as a stony-Iron Pallasite, an exceptionally scarce group representing transitional material between a planetary core and mantle. The polished surface exposes suspended Olivine inclusions set within a metallic matrix, creating the characteristic cellular structure for which Pallasites are internationally prized.
Composed primarily of Iron-Nickel alloy with gem-quality Olivine, Seymchan specimens are highly regarded among collectors for both scientific significance and dramatic natural geometry. Each polished slice presents a unique crystalline distribution impossible to replicate.
