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.
