Few things you can wear actually fell from space. These necklaces carry slices of the Sericho pallasite, a meteorite of olivine crystals set in metal.
Pallasites are stony iron meteorites, and the Sericho meteorite was found in 2016 near Sericho in eastern Kenya, where local camel herders had known the stones for decades. Each pendant shows its own pattern of olivine crystals and metal, so the two options look different side by side, as the comparison photo shows. Both hang on a 24 inch silver chain, a length that sits below the collarbone and shows the pendant well over a sweater or a plain neckline. They make a memorable gift for an astronomy fan, a science lover, a graduation or an anniversary. You choose the exact piece from the photos.
Each numbered option is pictured on its own, so the piece you see is the piece you receive. Both necklaces have a 24 inch chain and a charm about 1.625 inches long and 0.375 inches thick.
About the Sericho Pallasite
Meteorites are grouped as stony, iron and stony iron, and pallasites belong to the stony iron group. Sericho was found in 2016 near Sericho, Isiolo County, in eastern Kenya. Olivine makes up about 70 percent of a typical slice, in grains about 0.5 to 1 centimeter across, set in iron nickel metal.
