Seymchan - Pallasite, PMG

Seymchan is a type of pallasite, a rare category of meteorites that combines elements of iron meteorites with olivine minerals. This meteorite was discovered in 1967 near the town of Seymchan in the Magadan region of the Russian Far East. Pallasites like Seymchan are highly prized for their fascinating appearance and scientific significance.

Seymchan is primarily composed of iron and nickel, with prominent olivine crystals that are often translucent and range in color from green to golden. In some samples, the olivine is evenly distributed within the metallic matrix, creating a stunning visual effect that resembles gemstones embedded in metal. Depending on the cut and polish, Seymchan can reveal either a purely metallic structure or a mixed metallic and olivine structure. These variations make each piece a unique collectible.

Seymchan meteorites make an excellent addition to any collection, representing a fascinating piece of cosmic history, and are an ideal gift for astronomy and natural science enthusiasts.
