IMILAC, Chile
Known before 1822, Imilac has been recovered
from the Atacama Desert ever since. Mostly found in small nuggets with little or
no olivine, Imilac is a Stony-iron, Pallasite, of the main group, with angular
olivine shape. When recovered in a sufficiently large mass to provide cut slices, Imilac
presents us with gorgeous display specimens. These slices were cut from a block
obtained from The Natural History Museum in London. Imilac
slices are not readily available so here is an opportunity to acquire a nicely
cut and polished specimen for your collection.
