👉 Sawn and polished, pallasites become very aesthetic and take on a high market value due to their rarity (1% of meteorite falls).

Pallasites are meteorites composed of automorphic or xenomorphic olivine crystals, included in an iron-nickel matrix where Widmanstätten figures are often found. Density: 4.5 to 7.

Pallasites do not take their name from the goddess Pallas Athena, nor from the asteroid (2) Pallas, with which they have no connection, but from the Prussian zoologist and naturalist Peter Simon Pallas (1741-1811)1.

In 1772, Pallas learned of the existence of a 680-kilogram piece of metal found in 1749 in the Siberian mountains, relatively close to Krasnoyarsk (Russia). 2 Pallas arranged for it to be transported to St. Petersburg and studied it upon his return to the imperial capital.

Analysis shows that it is a new type of meteorite, named pallasite by Ernst Chladni in 1794 (the asteroid Pallas was not discovered until 1802, after these meteorites received their name).

The meteorite itself, first referred to as "Pallas Iron," is now called the Krasnoyarsk meteorite.

Pallas's description allowed the German physicist Ernst Chladni to convince the scientific community that meteorites were indeed objects of extraterrestrial origin.

The metal/silicate assemblage of "Pallas' iron" had no plausible relationship to the rocks in which it was discovered, and on the contrary closely resembled other objects found elsewhere in the world.
