Unit price per1 low in stock
This is a fabulous 1.24 grams Molong stony iron classified meteorite fragment. This superb meteorite was found in Ashburnham, NSW, Australia in 1912 and has a low Total Known Weight of 104 kg. This is 1 of 72 approved meteorites classified as Pallasite, PMG.
This Molong meteorite fragment is a rare 1.24-gram piece of Pallasite PMG (main chemical group) stony iron, originally part of a 230-pound mass found in 1912 near Ti Tree Creek, Ashburnham, NSW, Australia. Known for its unique iron-nickel matrix interspersed with olivine crystals, this specimen offers valuable insight into early solar system processes.
Even though the iron of this ancient meteorite has changed into Meteorite Shale due to its millions of years of exposure on earth, it still shows the beautiful pallasite structure it is famous for and will also reacts strongly to a magnet. Unlike most pallasites you see, Molong is almost all olivine crystals with just a little metal between them. The olivine crystals are semi-translucent, you can't see through them, but you can see reflections from within the crystals.
Its historical significance and scientific value make it an important addition for collectors and researchers specializing in meteoritics. Comes in a protective case with an ELKK Meteorites and a Canagem Collection specimen card.
