This pendant, measures 35x28x17mm (1.4» X 1.1» X 0.7») and comes suspended on your choice of chain. This is truly a one-of-a-kind piece and there will never be another like it!
Pallasite meteorites are composed of an iron-nickel matrix with olivine crystal inclusions (of peridot quality) scattered throughout. Researchers once thought that pallasites originated at the core-mantle boundaries of differentiated asteroids that were later shattered by impacts with other bodies. More recently, it was proposed that these are generated by the collisions of asteroids themselves. The Seymchan pallasite was first discovered in 1967 at a brook-bed flowing into the Hekandue River (a left tributary of the river of Jasachnaja River) of the Magadan district in Russia. This piece comes in a luxurious, black velvet jeweler's box, contained in a cardboard outer shell (so you can wrap the box without damaging the velvet); perfect for gift-giving! This is an heirloom-quality piece you can treasure for many years to come! This ships fully-insured and with international tracking, for your convenience and peace of mind. *Pallasite meteorites contain significant amounts of iron and nickel. People with allergies or sensitivities to these metals should not wear or handle this item. **Comes with a signed certificate of authenticity, filled in & signed by the artist; photo of the piece & materials are listed on the reverse side of the card. ***Buy direct from the artist here: https://heatherjordanj.com/products/seymchan-pallasite-meteorite-pendant-in-sterling-silver-with-citrine
