The "Golden Pallasite". 226 grams. ~ 74 x 50 x 54 mm.   Pallasite

TKW 682 grams. Fall not observed. Bought from a local meteorite dealer in Algeria in 2018.

 


DCOM writes:
The appealing meteorite shows numerous molten olivines and pallasitic areas. The golden to bronze-colored patina was created by wind-blown sand that polished the surface. The individual displays grains of sand embedded in the small gaps. The bottom line shows where the piece was stuck in the sand. Little is known about the history of this Pallasite. The country of origin is most likely Mali. Purchased from Aziz Habibi.
