Hardness: 9/10 Types: Above ground and underground - **Above Ground:** - Pro: Better rust resistance, suitable for daily jewelry wear - Con: Price is three times higher than underground. - **Underground:** - Pro: Cheaper option - Con: Prone to rust, requires periodic treatment, not recommended for daily wear. **Seymchan Pallasite Meteorite** Origin: Russia Description: Features thick Widmanstätten patterns, often found with yellow/greenish olivine. Offers very good rust resistance. Hardness: 7/10 **Sericho Pallasite Meteorite** Origin: Kenya Description: Resembles Seymchan but with a rounder shape. Olivine often found yellowish. Susceptible to rusting. Many sellers often coat them with a thin layer. **Muonionalusta Iron Meteorite** Origin: Sweden? Description: Featuring fine Widmanstätten patterns. Very similar to Gibeon. Buyer beware! Often sold as Gibeon. Hardness: 8/10 Types: Above ground and underground - **Above Ground:** - Pro: Better rust resistance, suitable for daily jewelry wear - Con: Price is three to five times higher than underground. As far as I know, there are not many left. - **Underground:** - Pro: Cheaper option - Con: Prone to rust, requires periodic treatment, not recommended for daily wear. **Gibeon Iron Meteorite Slice** Origin: Namibia, Africa Description: Features fine Widmanstätten patterns, very identical to Muonionalusta. Gibeon prices are significantly higher, and distinguishing between them can be challenging. Extremely rare due to export restrictions. Hardness: 8/10 Pros: - Excellent rust resistance, suitable for collections. Cons: - Difficulty in distinguishing from Muonionalusta meteorites. - Export restrictions on the source country. These insights are based on my experience as a meteorite collector, supplemented by online research and direct conversations with reliable sources.
