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.
