I have two pieces of pallasite meteorite, a piece of Seymchan and a piece of Fukang. The olivine crystals in Fukang is much bigger than those in Seymchan, but I found the olivines in Seymchan more colourful. My own piece of Seymchan is not of good quality though. Will buy a better piece if I have the opportunity.
Woww what a literally stellar meteorite square you got. Those are phenomenal jewelry type of meteorites. This and the Fukang Pallisite are the very best of all.
For ages and ages I've been asking "why are there these iron rich meteorites?!" And now, finally, a self-proclaimed "not a mineralogist" has explained their origin in a way I can understand! :) It's good that the nickel makes it corrosion resistant... it would be a heartbreak to spend loads of money and get a genuine piece of extra-terrestrial material only for it to dissolve into rust! Why send astronauts to the moon to collect rocks when impact events will just send specimens to the Earth for free? ;) Looking forward to seeing Marcel's collection of space junk. :)
If you go to the Moon, you can get samples of stuff that's too small to survive entering the Earth's atmosphere, like regolith. You also avoid contamination. I'm sure there's other reasons, too.
The first ancient iron tools ever where made with meteorite iron, way before iron smelting was invented. newatlas.com/bronze-age-iron-tools-meteorites/52474/ And we still have some of them because it doesn’t rust very easily.
@@CuriousMarc Very likely one of the kickstarters of the iron age. I mean, it only takes so many of these repeat processes to kind of get the idea of what you're supposed to do. I bet once they figured that heavy rocks had something to do with it. They started melting a lot of them.
pallasite are stained glass of the space! nice specimen with 2 differently prepared sides in presentation. seymchan is a beautiful pallasite, moderately expensive and very stable with variable color olivines like admire pallasite from light green to orange
However, for some unknown reasons, all my meterorites tend to rust. So now I have no choice but to put all of them in a sealed container with calcium metal......
Moisture in contact with the iron bits. Probably from handling. Dip and clean them in alcohol and display them without getting touchy touchy with them. :)
What I find ludicrous is that every atom of every heavy element on this Earth was made in a supernova more than 4.5 billion years ago. There's nothing unique about a piece from outer space. We are all made of stardust, quite literally.
Whenever I get a bit of extra cash I'll order tiny bits and eat them. Probably just giving myself cancer and stomach pain but oh well, one will work eventually
@Sixta16: good thinking, garnet sounds quite plausible. Maybe Majorite then? A Mg based garnet that’s thought to be abundant within Earth mantle with Olivine. My knowledge of Majorite comes from browsing Wikipedia, so take it with a large grain of salt: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Majorite
I saw your moon rock in this video please make a review on that because i have rocks like that, i did a lot of research and i could say the lunar impact breccia or impact melt breccia is more very close to my rocks, its like identical,.. i have a videos in my youtube channel of my lunar impact melt breccia, also would be nice of you if you can refer me to some luna scientist to authenticate my rocks, thank you very much

Would be cool if all the Seymchan people would gather online to post all their slices. :)
Amazing, to think that this thing was traveling through space for so long just for our planet to get in its way xD.
Keep up the good work.
I believe it has filed the paperwork to remove earth and create a hyperspace expressway to prevent further collisions.
Just like us!

I just got a small bit of this meteorite. Thank you so much for making this video. I learned a lot from it and am compelled to learn more now.

Can we watch that under the microscope?..
Marc: "You bet!" :)
Nice 👌...meteorite gold on CZcams now 👌

Wow I had no idea! Fascinating!

I have an amazing pallasite collection
So... Is this a core memory ? :)
Intel Duo core

how much did you pay for this slice? (why do they sell that in slices?)
If you have to ask......
Now THATS a conversation starter

Put them in a container filled with oil.
Moisture in contact with the iron bits. Probably from handling. Dip and clean them in alcohol and display them without getting touchy touchy with them. :)
All of us are 40,000,000,000 years old really.
Pretty wicked - a piece of a freaking proto-planet! I own a glass meteorite and feel lucky.
What I find ludicrous is that every atom of every heavy element on this Earth was made in a supernova more than 4.5 billion years ago. There's nothing unique about a piece from outer space. We are all made of stardust, quite literally.
Wow, fascinating!
A trigger for my next dive down the Wikipedia rabbit-hole.
BTW, could the red inclusion be garnet?
Wow, a piece of proto-planet core! You'll have to keep us updated about what superpowers it invests you with.

@@p4tr1ck18 meteorite are drugs! when we acquire 1 you can be sure that it will not be the last! it's like that
Looking at that I was thinking about randomly occurring silicon wafer like circuit 💫 perhaps some kind of circuitry
That is very cool and fascinating
If this metal is iron, sooner or later it will rust. Does it have some kind of coating in order to prevent rust?
How much was it?
Can you please try your moon rock if its attract to magnet in his size? You have to hang your magnet with the strings thanks
Crazy Cool Stuff Sir. Nickel Content is the Make or Break on most Meteor Wrongs.
on april11 2021 have falling down in our backyard meteorite
So, was it delivered by United Parsec Service? :D
Did the DigiBarn's co-founder ( Bruce Damer) change his name to Marcel?
That red crystal might be ruby? But strange that a light material such as ruby (aluminium oxide) would be found in that mix.
Awww... maybe garnet? Much heavier mineral, also containing iron.
@Sixta16: good thinking, garnet sounds quite plausible. Maybe Majorite then? A Mg based garnet that’s thought to be abundant within Earth mantle with Olivine. My knowledge of Majorite comes from browsing Wikipedia, so take it with a large grain of salt: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Majorite
Could the red be Realgar?
Fascinating, really
I have a Native American tomahawk made of meteorite
Maybe because Russia is the biggest country?
I have pallasite 3kg colour blue
I saw your moon rock in this video please make a review on that because i have rocks like that, i did a lot of research and i could say the lunar impact breccia or impact melt breccia is more very close to my rocks, its like identical,.. i have a videos in my youtube channel of my lunar impact melt breccia, also would be nice of you if you can refer me to some luna scientist to authenticate my rocks, thank you very much
Is it edbile :(
Fascinating
That looks 5 billion years old..lol
Vary Cool!!!
Hi Ed!
CuriousMarc Why hello there.👍😉
I have 21kilo meteorite lunar 😆
We are Venom
