The piece shows a terrific network of silver metal-filled shock veins. Almost all Huckitta specimen have been weatd to the point w the groundmass and the Olivine crystals have oxidized due to thousands of years of exposure on earth of this ancient Pallasite. A piece of fresh non-altered Huckitta iron is extremely rare and not even the Northern Territory Museum owns one. But especially the wheathering process exposed this wonderful and incomparable structure of the silver shiny metal veins in a dark black matrix which is unique among all other Pallasites. Size: 2.5 cm x 1.5 cm x 1 cm. Weight: 11.9 Grams. Location: Found in 1924 in Northern Territory, Australia. Some basics about Pallasites: A pallasite is a type of stony-iron meteorite. It usually consists of cm-sized olivine crystals of peridot quality in an iron-nickel matrix. Pallasites were once thought to originate at the core-mantle boundary of differentiated asteroids which were subsequently shattered through impacts. An alternative recent hypothesis is that they are impact-generated mixtures of core and mantle materials [Edward R.D. Scott, "Impact Origins for Pallasites," Lunar and Planetary Science XXXVIII, 2007]. Pallasites are named for the German naturalist Peter Pallas (1741-1811), who located in 1772 an iron specimen near Krasnojarsk in the mountains of Siberia with a mass of 680 kg. This Meteorite is known as the famous Krasnojarsk Pallasite. Pallasites are among the most beautiful and expensive Meteorites. ShippingWe ship Worldwide Free !
