Meteor P.14

A single mass of 3.273 kg was found in a cultivated field 4 miles northeast of Smyer, Hockley County, Texas, on 1 June 1968. Classified as an H6 chondrite, impact melt breccia, any of these will make an attractive addition to most meteorite collections.

In 1967, two masses were found in a stream flowing into the Hekandue River, Magadan district, Russia. They were solid iron meteorite material, coarse octahedrite, IIE, ungrouped. More recently, meteorite hunters have recovered more masses; a few rare pieces contain olivine crystals; therefore, Seymchan is an Iron/Pallasite. The specimens shown below have some excellent gemmy olivine crystals similar to Esquel and Imilac. Here is another Pallasite location for the collectors.

Three masses were found in 1931 near Springwater, 100 miles west of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada. Springwater is classified as a Stony-iron, Pallasite, ungrouped, rounded olivine shape. Even though not quite as translucent as some other Pallasites, it is nonetheless a very striking meteorite. These partial slices are from a thick slice I removed from my collection which was highly polished on one side and etched on the other; therefore, some slices have an etched surface while others have the more traditional polished surface. All are very nice specimens and will make attractive additions to most any meteorite collection.

The Meteoritical Bulletin notes that after the appearance of a fireball and detonations several stones fell on 28 June 1876 near Nya Kopparberg, Sweden. Stalldalen is classified as an H5 chondrite, brecciated, and is not often found in the meteorite market. These partial slices show varying degrees of brecciation.
