Can a ring maker set an imiliac pallasite on a ring?
Yes, it's possible, but rust might be an issue. More typical use of meteorites in jewelry are gold bands inset with etched meteoritic iron, also now on the market are facetted stones cut from gem-grade olivine inclusions found in certain pallasite meteorites.
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.
How much is a diamond from space worth?
Depends on size, clarity, color. There would be a healthy markup if the origin was proven. Compare "palladot", the gem peridot found in pallasite meteorites; cut stones of this material go for far more than terrestrial peridot.
What are space diamonds worth?
It would depend on their size, clarity, color, and I'd imagine there would be a healthy markup if their origin was proven. The only remotely comparable gem would be the faceted peridot, newly named "palladot", from pallasite meteorites, which commands far higher prices than terrestrial peridot.
What is the most expencive peridot?
The most expensive form of peridot comes from specific meteorites, or, as they are known to collectors, pallasites. Peridot found in these is usually not in great shape due to impact, but when they are workable for faceting can run thousands of dollars above earthly peridot. A peridot from a pallasite found by Robert Haag is listed at $50,000. Part of that is likely the setting which is 22 karat gold, rimmed with diamond and lesser stones culled from the main peridot. On the same site for Robert Haag there is a 1.5 carat faceted peridot pulled from a pallasite. Price for that is not listed however.
When Was The Last Meteor in ENGLAND?
The last meteorite found in England is the Hambleton meteorite - officially accepted and named as such by the Meteoritical Society. The 17.6kg meteorite was found in the Hambleton district of North Yorkshire, England during August 2005 by meteorite hunter Rob Elliott. Hambleton is a rare type of meteorite known as a pallasite - pallasites are believed to originate from the core-mantle boundary layer within large asteroids.
