Huckitta Window

Pallasite

The Huckitta specimen is  ground down and polished on one side to reveal  the dark colored olivine surrounded by solid ni-iron metal. Much of the meteorites from this locale were badly oxidized; altering ithe ni-iron to maghemite.  The sample is the best preserved metallic phase we have seen.  Provided in a riker box or membrane frame.

Huckitta is the largest pallasite mass known on the planet. Though nearly all smaller specimens found today are oxidized, we have preserved some fresh-metal specimens. The metal is unaltered and has remained stable many years.
