What is a pallasite meteorite?
A pallasite is a type of stony, iron meteorite. It consists of small sized olivine crystals of peridot quality in an iron-nickel matrix.Coarser metal areas develop Widmanstätten patterns upon etching which are unique figures of long nickel iron crystals, found in the octahedrite iron meteorites and some pallasites.The first meteorite found bearng these qualities was a Krasnojarsk meteorite. With a mass of about 700 kg it was detected in 1749 about 145 miles south of Krasnojarsk by P.S. Pallas in 1772 and transported to Krasnojarsk where it got it's name.

it's possible since the mix is pretty random
What are the sources of wrought iron?
Iron is a relatively abundant element in the universe. It is found in the sun and many types of stars in considerable quantity. Its nuclei are very stable. Iron is a principal component of a meteorite class known as siderites and is a minor constituent of the other two meteorite classes. The core of the earth -- 2150 miles in radius -- is thought to be largely composed of iron with about 10 percent occluded hydrogen. The metal is the fourth most abundant element, by weight that makes up the crust of the earth.
