The first Brahin pallasites were unearthed in Belarus, Russia in 1810. Pallasites, remarkably rare, account for just 0.2% of all meteorites, owing to their origin at the boundary of an asteroid's mantle and core.
The exquisitely polished surface of this slice showcases a mosaic of olivine (magnesium iron silicate) crystals from the asteroid's mantle, suspended within its lustrous iron-nickel matrix derived from the asteroid's core.
We rate translucency of pallasites on a scale from A to D, which corresponds to the following details:
A: Extremely translucent
B: Moderate translucency
C: Little translucency
D: no visible translucency
About Stony-Iron Meteorites: Stony-iron meteorites, the rarest and often considered the most visually-desirable of the three meteorite categories, consist of iron-nickel, silicate minerals and gemstones. Within the stony-iron category, we have two different types: Pallasites and Mesosiderites.
