Description:

Meteorite American Pallasite Brenham. The Brenham pallasite fell to earth some 1,000-2,000 years ago in Kiowa County near Haviland, Kansas. It is the most famous of all American pallasites and was perhaps the largest fall of a pallasite in recorded history with over 6 tons of recovered meteorites. Although the local Indians knew of this meteorite, it was not officially discovered until 1882 and designated a pallasite which is a mixture of an iron-nickel matrix with crystals of olivine. This large 4.75 x 4.5 inch 240 gram complete slice has been polished on both sides with many olivine crystals in the iron-nickel matrix including several crystals that are translucent yellow to greenish yellow in color. Peridot is the gemstone version of olivine. Because of their high value, it is rare to be able to purchase a complete slice of a Pallasite. This beautiful complete slice also possesses its original fusion crust on all sides
