This is a fabulous 20.6 gram Sericho Pallasite Main Group meteorite, it measures 33x27x18 mm.  In 2016, two brothers were searching for their camels and came across several large, dense stones west of the village of Habaswein and south of Sericho, Kenya. Though recognized as meteorites in 2016, the masses had been known to camel-herders for decades. One village elder said that as a child, he and his brothers would play on top of the stones.  It is classified as an Iron Pallasite main group with low weathering and is 1 of only 68 approved meteorites classified as such, with a recovered weight of about 2.8 T.

This piece displays extremely well and is a nice size showing great features. Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a Canagem Collection specimen card.

As reported by IMCA, these specimens are not in the meteorite bulletin as they are labeled.  This means that the provisional name or the field name was not used as was assumed at the time of labeling.  So the only information for the specimen is as provided by Mark Bostick.

This interesting specimen comes in a protective case with a signed Mark Bostick Collection and a Canagem Collection specimen card. Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection.
