Glorieta
Mountain
This spectacular pallasite was found in
Canoncito, Santa Fe County, New Mexico in 1884. Since then, hundreds of
pieces have been found, from less than a gram to ~30 kilograms. Glorieta
Mountain is one of the most beautiful of the pallasites, a very fresh
one, surely a fall from less than 200 years ago. It is known for perfect
stability, gorgeous green to golden crystals, and very nice etch
pattern. I have searched many times in the strewnfield, and found only
five small meteorites weighing a total of less than 50 grams. There is
actually very little of this meteorite ever for sale on the collectors
market.

pieces 93.0898 grams.

I want to keep these pieces
together, not sell separately. |
This is one of the most unique and beautiful of the Glorieta
Mountain meteorites that I have ever owned. I bought this
piece from the finder, then split it in half, and was very surprised
to see the odd-shaped angular olivine crystals. |
