About the Item
This rare and visually striking slice of the Soledade Iron Meteorite showcases the intricate crystalline pattern that forms only after billions of years of slow cooling in the vacuum of space. The characteristic Widmanstätten pattern – a geometric lattice of nickel-iron lamellae – emerges naturally upon etching, revealing the metallic fingerprint of this unique object's extraterrestrial origin.
Discovered in 1986 near Soledade, Brazil, it was found as a 68-kilogram mass being hammered and heated in a local garage! This expertly prepared section exhibits outstanding contrast and texture across its face, displaying distinctive metallic hues of silver-gray and pewter with natural inclusions and edge character intact.
This slice embodies both the aesthetic appeal and scientific intrigue that make meteorites like Soledade so desirable among collectors. A display piece that speaks to the ancient history of our solar system – formed more than 4.5 billion years ago and graspable in your hand.

Genuine Sericho Pallasite Meteorite
Located in New York, NY
This luminous Sericho pallasite meteorite slice offers a captivating view into the early solar system. Dating back approximately 4.5 billion years, this stony-iron meteorite was discovered in Kenya and officially recognized in 2016, although the fall is believed to have occurred decades earlier.
This Sericho slice features a mosaic of orange and green Olivine – the gem variety of Peridot – suspended in a gleaming iron-nickel matrix. Especially when backlit, the Olivine crystals radiate with striking transparency and color.
Pallasites make up less than 1% of all known meteorites and are among the rarest and most beautiful of extraterrestrial materials. Thought to originate from disrupted asteroids in the early solar system, specimens like this one likely formed at the boundary between a molten metal core and a silicate-rich mantle – or through high-energy impacts between differentiated bodies. This meteorite slice offers a literal cross-section of planetary formation and destruction.
A true standout for any meteorite, mineral, or space memorabilia...
