This specimen originates from a Sericho meteorite sample that underwent a number of stages of cutting and then grinding and polishing in a sphere-making device. The crystalline habit of the alloys comprising Sericho's iron-nickel matrix are seen to great effect adding to the complexity of this three-dimensional presentation. Amber-hued peridot crystals are suspended throughout the iron-nickel matrix.
