Amazing Seymchan Pallasite Iron Meteorite Specimen. This meteorite was discovered in Russia in 1967. This piece has been cut, polished, and etched to reveal its natural crystalline structure called the Widmanstatten pattern. The Widmanstatten pattern is a crystal structure that occurs only in iron-nickel meteorites. For this to form the parent body has to be large enough that most of it's metal content melted and sank to the core, then slowly cooled over millions of years. Then at some point, this large body was destroyed and shattered, eventually raining pieces of itself down on Earth. When you hold this piece in your hand, you are holding the core of a small planet that no longer exists! This piece would make a great display specimen for a collection but its unique shape would also be perfect for making into a piece of extraterrestrial jewelry!
