The
Brenham pallasite was originally discovered
in Kansas in 1882. During the following century further finds were made, until, in 2005, a huge 635kg oriented individual was recovered. It is from this recent discovery that our material originates. We always have Brenham in stock |

The
Jepara pallasite
was discovered in May 2008
during building work in Indonesia. The 500kg main mass is heavily weathered and altered: our thin slices have been stabilised and polished to show the characteristic structure of metallic matrix and olivine crystals. We have a limited supply of these stunning pallasites available, from 12g to 50g (100mm x 110mm) More details HERE! |

Huckitta
is a very ancient pallasite
from
Australia. It is increasingly hard to obtain samples of this beautiful highy-altered find, particularly specimens with a decent mass: Contact us to see what's available! |

The
Vaca Muerta mesosiderite was found in 1861 at Taltal, Atacama, Chile. Mesosiderites were formed on the surface of a parent body as a result of an impact with another body, and display a stony matrix in which are suspended chunks of nickel-iron. Many shapes and sizes and other types always available: this has a respectable mass of 21g |
