Welcome to my collection of meteorites. All of the items in my collection have a Certificate of Authenticity signed by Mike D. Reynolds, Ph. D.

Type: Stony-Iron. Pallasite (PAL)
Location: Atacama Desert, Chile

In 1828, a 9,265 gram Imilac was presented to the British Museum and a 1.8 kilograms to the Royal Scottish Museum that had been recovered by an Indian by the name of Jose Marie Chaile.

There are two types or forms of Imilac meteorites recovered. One type shows the beautiful olivine crystals in the iron-nickel matrix when sliced. The other type of Imilac meteorites are iron-nickel fragments. Over time, weathering removes the characteristic olivine found in Pallasites, leaving behind stragely-shaped nickel-iron fragments. Because of their beauty and popularity with collectors and museums, both types of Imilac are becoming more difficult to obtain.
