Pallasite Meteorites

Pallasite meteorites are a rare type of stony-iron meteorite, characterized by a unique composition of olivine crystals embedded in a matrix of iron-nickel alloy. Named after the asteroid Pallas, they are thought to originate from the boundary region between a rocky mantle and a metallic core of a differentiated asteroid or protoplanet. Pallasites are prized by collectors and scientists alike for their striking beauty and insight into the processes of planetary formation. They often exhibit a remarkable mix of translucent olivine crystals and metallic matrix, making them visually stunning spec
