Estimate$5,000 – $8,000
Provenance:
Officially recovered near Habaswein, Kenya in 2016. Though it was said to have originally been discovered by two brothers in search of their camels decades before.
Like all pallasite meteorites, this extraterrestrial specimen was formed at the mantle-core boundary of an asteroid and dates to the beginning of our solar system. More recently it has been carved into a sphere offering a deeper view into its metallic matrix and honey-colored crystals.
