Product code: 39.1g SERICHO Pallasite Olive Meteorite slice From factory Kenya-CA33
Named: August 3, 2017 Location factory of fall: Serico, Kenya 1°5"41.16"39°N, 6"8.30"E Discovered: 2016 Category: stony iron meteorite low weathering Olive meteorites account for only 0.3% of all meteorites and are very scarce. In 2016, two African brothers were searching for their missing camels and found something special while passing through Habavi in the south of Serico in Kenya and several large, densely rocky areas in the south, since there are few rocks in this area, so They think the stones may be meteorites. They spent weeks collecting the stones and moving them to their home in Habaway. Despite being identified as a meteorite in 2016, camel herders have known about the stones' existence for decades. An old man in the village said that when he was a child, he and his brothers would play on the rocks. Time flies to early January 2017 when Michael Farmer received an email showing a photo of a "giant Pallast" weighing 107kg. He went to Nairobi to buy the stone. Two weeks lat.
