{"title":"Seymchan - Pallasite PMG","description":"\u003cp\u003eSeymchan is a well-known Pallasite meteorite from the Magadan region of Russia, first found in 1967 near the settlement of Seymchan. It was originally classified as an Iron meteorite, but later discoveries revealed olivine-bearing material, leading to its recognition as a Main Group Pallasite. This variable structure makes Seymchan especially interesting, as some specimens are rich in olivine crystals while others are almost entirely metallic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSeymchan specimens can vary widely in appearance. Olivine-rich pieces show yellow to green crystals set within iron-nickel metal, while metal-rich pieces can display strong Widmanstätten patterns when cut, polished, and etched. This natural variation gives Seymchan broad appeal, fitting both Pallasite and Iron meteorite collections. Its relative stability also makes it popular for display, prepared slices, and jewelry use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStudying Seymchan provides insight into the formation of Stony-Iron meteorites and the complex mixing of metallic and silicate material inside early differentiated asteroids. For collectors, it offers a recognised Russian Pallasite with strong visual variety, scientific interest, and excellent display potential. Each specimen represents ancient asteroid material preserved as a mixture of metal and olivine, formed over 4.5 billion years ago.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/0518\/8678\/collections\/Collection_Place_Holder_8320ac40-5b2b-4784-b83e-aa34161515d6.jpg?v=1779471458","url":"https:\/\/outerspacer.com\/collections\/seymchan.oembed","provider":"OuterSpacer Meteorites","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
