Sericho

Pallasite meteorite pendant (sericho) with steel support and clasp.

Extendable leather cord.

Meteorite cut, polished, treated with a nitric acid solution so that the Widmanstätten structures and olivine crystals can be seen, covered in resin.

The material that makes up pallasites is usually formed by centimetric crystals of high purity olivine in an iron-nickel matrix.

The Widmanstätten structures are the result of the intergrowth of bands of taenite and camacite, two alloys of iron and nickel, produced by very slow cooling (on the order of 100 ºC to 10,000 ºC per million years), over periods of up to 10 million years. This structure cannot be reproduced in the laboratory, so its presence constitutes unequivocal proof of the authenticity of a meteorite. They are present in certain metallic meteorites and lithosiderites.

The box is included in the price.
