This is a beautiful complete slice of Imilac.  It's loaded with transparent crystals and looks amazing when backlit!  It is polished on both sides and etched on one side.  This is a very stable pallasite with no rust.  This piece comes inside a membrane case to keep it safe, and it also comes with my COA.  Imilac meteorites were discovered in 1822 by the Indian Jose Maria Chalie at the western end of the Salar de Imilac in a remote part of the high desert. Small Imilac meteorites were offered by the finder to British Museums and subsequently aroused the interest of scientists.

Pallasites are not common; they compose only 1.8% of all known meteorites. It has been proposed that pallasites represent the interface between the stone mantle and the metal core of differentiated asteroids.

The weight of this piece is 18.6 grams.

The measurements are about 68x54x2mm.
