The Sericho Pallasite Meteorite is a truly exceptional specimen, now available in its rough, uncut form for collectors seeking a direct connection to the cosmos. Found in a 45-kilometer strewn field near Habaswein, eastern Kenya, this meteorite was officially discovered in 2016 when two local brothers stumbled upon unusual rocks while searching for their camels. Villagers collected fragments for weeks before alerting meteorite hunters, and the Sericho Pallasite was formally classified in 2018. Even today, new material continues to emerge, making each piece a rare find.
Belonging to the pallasite class of stony-iron meteorites and classified as an EGP (Eagle Station Group) anomalous pallasite, Sericho Pallasites are formed at the boundary between a protoplanet’s core and mantle. They feature translucent olivine crystals (green to orange) embedded in a nickel-iron matrix, often with well-developed Widmanstätten patterns in the metal. Many specimens display high olivine crystal densities, up to 70–80%, and thin slices allow light to pass through the gem-like pockets, revealing their stunning inner beauty.
With only about 2,800 kilograms recovered worldwide and most fragments exceeding 50 kilograms, Sericho Pallasites are rare and highly collectible. Perfect for both seasoned collectors seeking a significant addition and beginners looking for a captivating start, owning a piece of Sericho means holding a fragment of celestial history in your hands.
Add this rare and remarkable Sericho Pallasite Meteorite to your collection today and experience the wonder of a true cosmic treasure.
