SEYMCHAN, Russia

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 recovered additional masses; a few rare pieces contained olivine crystals. Therefore, Seymchan is an Iron/Pallasite. The specimens shown here contain  excellent gemmy olivine crystals similar to Esquel and Imilac, except darker in color. Seymchan has proven to be stable and provides another Pallasite location for the collector. All of these partial slices are mirror polished on one side and smooth on the opposite side. These partial slices were cut from my 950 gram thick slice and are absolutely stunning and not the typical run-of-the-mill Seymchan specimens. You will be more than satisfied!!!

SONGYUAN, China - Witnessed Fall

Four stones were recovered shortly after falling in the countryside of Fuyu in Songyuan city, Jilin Province, on 15 August 1993. Songyuan is classified as an L6 chondrite. Most of this meteorite resides in the Fuyu Museum, Songyuan, China. Less than 1 kg of this material has been released from China.

SPRINGWATER, Canada 

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.

SULAGIRI, India - Witnessed Fall   

This meteorite fell on 12 September 2008 in Hosur Taluk, Krishnagiri district, Tamil Nada, India. Officially classified as an  LL6, and named Sulaguri, this new fall joins many other meteorites from India which are difficult to obtain. These fragments and slices were removed from three larger specimens that I obtained from a reputable European laboratory.
