Seymchan Pallasite Meteorite Slab

Meteorite

Meteorites are rocks that fall to the earth's surface from space. Often originating from asteroid and comet fragments that travel through space till crossing our planetary path, as the effects of gravity pull the meteoroid enough to fall through the planet's atmosphere.

Meteors, also known as shooting stars, are the streaks of light created by the gasses held within meteoroids burning in the Earth's atmosphere. Some of the fastest meteors travel at speeds of 44 miles (70km) per second. These amazing space rocks are then considered meteorites when they crash to earth as the final bang!

Metaphysically meteorites connect us to the flow of the universe, connecting to other dimensions, and communicating with others.

Seymchan Pallasite Meteorite

Seymchan is a pallasite meteorite, first found in 1967 near Seymchan in Magadan district in Russia. Pallasites are a rare class of stony-iron meteorite distinguished by the presence of large olivine crystal inclusions in the iron-nickel matrix (the gemstone peridot is also an olivine). According to Wikipedia, these crystals represent mantle and core material from differentiated planetesimals, which were destroyed by violent collisions during the early formation of the Solar System. Seymchan is considered a stable and rust-resistant pallasite.
