  Stony-Iron Meteorites/Pallasites
 
  
    | Stony-iron meteorites are rare. Most are recovered as larger
    individual specimens, which we carefully slice to enhance the beauty and aid in scientific
    examination. In pallasites, the thinner the slice, the more trans- parent the olivine
      crystals. Very thin slices are more expensive per gram, reflecting the higher cutting
    losses and painstaking preparation. |  |
