Product Description
Own a real piece of the solar system. This listing features an authentic Sericho pallasite meteorite slice (round, 80 mm) finished and mounted as a museum-style desktop display. The specimen reveals bright olivine crystals set in a metallic matrix — a striking example of a stony‑iron (pallasite) meteorite.

Two presentation styles (select at checkout):

1. Rotating suspended display (acrylic cube) — The round meteorite disc is mounted on a threaded metal spindle and suspended within a clear acrylic cube. The disc can be rotated gently to view the olivine crystals and metal textures from different angles, producing a micro “window” into planetary formation. The cube gives a modern, gallery-style look and protects the piece while allowing full 360° viewing.
2. Upright easel display (acrylic pedestal) — The disc sits in a small clear acrylic easel/holder for an open, approachable presentation. This style is perfect for desks, shelves, or cabinets where you want the specimen to be immediately visible and easily removed for close inspection.

What is Sericho?
Sericho is a documented meteorite name listed in the Meteoritical Bulletin Database (Sericho — a pallasite find from Kenya, 2016). This slice comes from that meteorite class: stony‑iron specimens that display gemmy olivine crystals embedded in a metal matrix.

• 1 × display, your choice of: Acrylic cube with rotating suspension OR clear acrylic easel/holder

Care & Handling

• Handle with care; olivine crystals can be brittle at edges.
• Clean with a soft, dry or slightly damp microfiber cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, solvents, or prolonged water exposure.
• The resin coating protects the face; do not attempt to remove or polish the slice yourself.

Notes on natural variation

• Each meteorite slice is unique. Crystal size, color, patterning, and metal texture vary from piece to piece — your slice will match the style and quality shown in the photos but will be one-of-a-kind.
• Minor surface marks, internal lines, natural inclusions, or slight edge irregularities are normal for natural specimens.
