Huckitta is a famous Australian Pallasite from the Northern Territory, officially classified as Pallasite, PMG-an. A small mass was first found near Alice Springs in 1924, with the much larger main mass recovered at Huckitta Station in 1937. As a Pallasite, Huckitta represents Stony-Iron material containing both iron-nickel metal and silicate minerals, formed over 4.5 billion years ago within an early differentiated asteroid. Its anomalous Main Group classification adds further scientific interest.
Specimens of Huckitta are known for their weathered character, with much of the original metal altered through long terrestrial exposure. Prepared pieces can show a mixture of oxidised metal and olivine-rich material, giving them a very different appearance from fresher Pallasites such as Sericho or Esquel. Rather than bright translucent crystals in clean metal, Huckitta often has a more ancient, earthy texture that reflects both its original formation and its long history in the Australian environment.
For collectors, Huckitta offers a recognised and historically important Pallasite with strong Australian provenance. Its large recovered mass, distinctive preservation, and PMG-an classification make it especially appealing for those interested in classic Pallasites, weathered Stony-Irons, or significant Australian meteorites. Each specimen represents ancient core-mantle boundary material, preserved through deep time and recovered from one of Australia’s most notable meteorite finds.
How the scales and gridlines work.
Each small square is 1x1mm, and each bold-lined square is 10x10mm, or 1cm² (1 square centimetre).
Imperial measurements.
1 inch is is easy to figure because it is about 25 small squares, which is 2½ bold squares.
The piece shown in the photo on the left (a Gebel Kamil Iron) is about 70mm from left to right, which is about 2¾ inches, and around 60mm (about 2⅓ inches) from top to bottom.
Please note that any scale cubes, measuring grids, stands, or photographic props shown in listing images are used for display and size reference purposes only and are not included unless specifically stated.
