At the heart of this pendant is a circular slice of rare pallasite meteorite, representing the core-mantle boundary of an asteroid or proto-planetary body. Designed for optimal light transmission, the translucent peridot crystal embedded within the nickel-iron meteorite becomes the focal point. The round pallasite slice measures one inch across and is encircled by a slightly larger band of sterling silver, which allows the pendant to swivel and display both sides of the meteorite. Last one in stock.
This pendant is presented in a 2.5-inch membrane box with a small stand, an information card, and a certificate of authenticity.
You may add a stainless-steel chain of your choice, and optional gift packaging with a bow and card is available.

Originally two specimens were found in a brook-bed in very remote location of the Magadan district. It was rediscovered in ~2004 where a massive recovery project yielded about 30 tons. It is easily the largest pallasite discovery to date. The olivine crystals are randomly dispersed in NiFe in clusters and layers. It is very stable iron.
