Seymchan Pallasite Meteorites For Sale

The Seymchan meteorite is a pallasite meteorite, a unique class of meteorite consisting of both metal and silicate minerals. Pallasites are thought to originate from the boundary region between the core and mantle of differentiated asteroids. The Seymchan meteorite was first discovered in 1967 near the Seymchan River in the Magadan Oblast of Russia. Based on the first few specimens recovered, it was originally classified as a coarse octahedrite (IIE) iron meteorite. More recently, meteorite hunters recovered additional new masses with more advanced metal detectors. Several of these (an estimated 10 to 20% of the masses) contain olivine, revealing the true pallasitic nature of this meteorite and its reclassification. Seymchan is unique among pallasites due to its unusually high iridium content.

Important: Care Of Pallasites

Even more so than most iron meteorites, pallasites are susceptible to rusting and deterioration from moisture in the atmosphere. This is particularly important in areas with high humidity, such as Florida. All of the pallasite material we sell has been stabilized in some way, which will help with this issue but care still needs to be taken to keep your treasure in good condition. Store your pallasite in a dry, moisture-free environment, preferably with a corrosion inhibitor such as silica gel beads or a dehumidifier.
