Sericho
Pallasite
Found in Wajir County, Kenya
2016

In 2016, two brothers were searching for their camels and came across several large, dense stones west of the village of Habaswein and south of Sericho, Kenya. There are no rocks in this area, so they decided they were meteorites. They spent several weeks collecting them with engine hoists and moving them to their homes in Habaswein. Though recognized as meteorites in 2016, the masses had been known to camel-herders for decades. One village elder said that as a child, he and his brothers would play on top of the stones. 

Meet the newest pallasite I have been working directly with the finders in the field to bring them in at a price that is uncommonly low for a pallasite. When cut this pallasite displays beautiful rounded yellow to green crystals.
