Incredible Inclusion!
The Glorieta Mountain meteorite was first discovered in 1884 in the mountains near Santa Fe, New Mexico. It is found in two forms, siderite (iron) and pallasite (olivine and iron). The Glorieta Mountain siderites are some of the rarest and most difficult to find irons in the world. This example features a spectacular etch pattern with an amazing and hypnotic flash from the various crystal bands when the specimen is viewed from different angles, and an incredible inclusion that is visible on both sides. |
