This stunning pendant is made with a thin slice of the Sericho Pallasite Meteorite, which perfectly showcases the beautiful olivine matrix that makes it so unique. Less than 1% of all found meteorites are classified as pallasites, so this is a rare find indeed.

The fantastic olivine inclusions within the meteorite will shift in vibrancy depending on the angle and intensity of light falling on them. This pendant is a dynamic and incredible statement piece that is sure to catch the eye of any fellow stargazer.

As pictured, the necklace comes with a handsome display/storage box and a small information card that also serves as the certificate of authenticity. 

All components of the necklace are sterling silver, including the 18" (45cm) wheat-style chain. Each pendant is a unique piece of jewelry and has been photographed individually. You can see them all listed by size in the collection below.

In 2016, south of Sericho, Kenya, two brothers found several dense stones while searching for their camels. The two realized there were no rocks in the area besides these and decided they were meteorites. Soon, this was proven to be correct. The specimens were identified as pallasites, a rare class of stony-iron meteorites.

Pallasites are characterized by a unique matrix of the mineral olivine embedded in solidified iron and nickel. The combination of such materials is as surprising to science as it is beautiful to the eye. The unusual matrix of the Pallasite is formed by the intrusion of molten metal into layers of olivine. olivine is made of magnesium iron silicate with numerous variations on Earth and beyond.

We have discovered olivine on the Moon and Mars and detected olivine's spectral signature in the dust disks surrounding young stars and in comet tails. Peridot is the gem-quality variant of olivine.

While this sort of mixing is likely to occur in the reaction zones between the core-mantle boundary in large bodies, gravity should separate these materials due to their varied densities. This is one reason that pallasite formation is such an active topic in the scientific community; it also explains whyless than 1% of all found meteorites are classified as pallasites.
