Imilac is a superb pallasite discovered in the Atacama Deser - Lot 334
Imilac is a superb pallasite discovered in the Atacama Desert in the 19th century in Chile. The meticulously prepared slice measures 95 x 75 mm by 3 mm for thickness, for 80.47 g. Imilac pallasite is, together with Esquel pallasite (Argentina) and Seymchan pallasite (from Russia), the most prized of the pallasites. It contains translucent peridots (olivine) of very high quality, honey to green color, these peridots are extraterrestrial. Thinly sliced imilac pallasite reveals all its inner beauty with translucent peridots that formed in space more than 4.5 billion years ago. The peridots are naturally "set" in a ferronickel metal matrix.
