Brenham pallasite in titanium alloy — 11.5 g, 45 × 32 mm, 4.9 mm thick. The thickest of our Brenham slices, and close to square in proportion.
Specification
Meteorite: Brenham, pallasite (olive meteorite)
Weight: 11.5 g
Dimensions: 45 × 32 × 4.9 mm
Setting: titanium alloy
Reference: LK043
Thickness and light
Olivine is translucent; the nickel-iron around it is not. At nearly 5 mm the crystals sit deep enough in the section that light entering the face has some depth to travel through, which changes the green from flat to layered.
Care
Epoxy sealed. Avoid abrasives and prolonged soaking.
