Pallasite individuals.. there was a time when such a thing was a rarity for the common collector that was left to a few choices. Now we have these newer NWA finds of Pallasites with small individuals like NWA 4482 that are unique and something that most collectors should fill there collection with an individual. These NWA's, plus the still available Imilac skeletons, and the the variable options now available with the newer finds from new finds of older a couple Kansas Pallasites has really changed the collecting options for them. Now, the Kenya finds will take this Pallasite market to another level. Like the Moon rocks of late, the pallasites are building a "heavy" base of new finds. good new for all involved.
