Marjalahti is a main-group pallasite meteorite that fell near Marjalahti, Finland, in 1902. Pallasites consist principally of olivine crystals embedded in an iron-nickel metal matrix, producing a structure unlike that of ordinary stony meteorites. Because most known pallasites were discovered long a...
Why this score
Rare witnessed pallasite fall, high class significance, limited mass and fame below top examples.
Scoring methodologySpringwater is a main-group pallasite meteorite found in Saskatchewan, Canada, in 1904. It consists of unusually large, gem-quality olivine crystals embedded in an iron-nickel matrix, a structure characteristic of pallasites. Its translucent crystals and contrasting metal make prepared slices useful...
Why this score
Large Canadian pallasite with gem-quality olivine, strong collector reputation, moderate broader fame.
Scoring methodologySericho is a main-group pallasite discovered in Isiolo County, Kenya, after local herders began finding unusually dense stones in the area. Recognized as meteoritic material in 2016, it consists principally of olivine crystals embedded in iron-nickel metal, the characteristic structure of pallasites...
Why this score
Large recent pallasite recovery, important available material, reputation still below classic named falls.
Scoring methodologyGlorieta Mountain is a main-group pallasite meteorite found in New Mexico, United States. Like other pallasites, it contains olivine crystals embedded in an iron-nickel metal matrix, producing a distinctive mixture of silicate and metallic material when specimens are cut and polished. Both complete...
Why this score
Attractive American pallasite, respected specimens, less historically or scientifically singular.
Scoring methodologyBrahin is a main-group pallasite meteorite associated with finds near Brahin, in present-day Belarus. Its cut surfaces characteristically show translucent olivine crystals embedded in an iron-nickel metal matrix, the defining structure of pallasites. Multiple masses have been recovered from the regi...
Why this score
Well-known Belarus pallasite, good olivine development, notable but weathering and common availability temper score.
Scoring methodologyAdmire is a main-group pallasite discovered in Lyon County, Kansas. Like other pallasites, it consists of olivine crystals embedded in an iron-nickel metal matrix, producing a distinctive mixture of silicate and metallic material. Prepared slices are often translucent where the olivine is thin, whil...
Why this score
Recognized Kansas pallasite with attractive slices, respected but lower fame and scientific centrality.
Scoring methodologyPallasite stony-iron meteorite found in Antarctica's Thiel Mountains, recovered during systematic U.S. Antarctic meteorite search program expeditions.
Why this score
Antarctic pallasite recovery, rare class value, limited public reputation and distinctiveness.
Scoring methodologyIron meteorite found near Pavlodar, Kazakhstan, in 1968, one of the larger iron meteorite discoveries made in the Soviet Union during that era.
Why this score
Larger Soviet-era iron find, regional interest, limited global scientific profile.
Scoring methodologyFinmarken is an officially recognized meteorite from Finnmark in northern Norway and the only approved meteorite associated with that region. It is a pallasite, a stony-iron meteorite type characterized by metal and olivine, and is classified within the main-group pallasites. The specimen is recorde...
Why this score
Rare Arctic iron find, regional significance, limited mass fame and research literature.
Scoring methodologyMolong is a meteorite from the Molong district of New South Wales, Australia, and is classified as a main-group pallasite. Pallasites are stony-iron meteorites in which olivine crystals occur within a nickel-iron metal matrix, so Molong represents material associated with the boundary between rocky...
Why this score
Documented Australian stony meteorite, regional collection interest, low broader acclaim.
Scoring methodologyPeridot is the gem-quality form of olivine, a mineral whose green color comes mainly from iron in its crystal structure. Unlike many gemstones, its color is intrinsic to the material rather than primarily caused by trace impurities. Peridot occurs in igneous rocks and has also been identified in som...
