Brenham-matrix-2-way-1622
A small thin section of the Brenham, Kansas, pallasite. This one weighs 22 grams. The largest stone from this fall, discovered by Steve Arnold in 2005, weighed about a ton.
Measures 4 x 28 x 45 mm.
It is lighted here to show both the shiny nickel-iron matrix and the translucent olivine crystals.
Native Americans smashed specimens of this large fall and used the metal for knives and arrow points. The olivine was often used for decoration.
