   Could you tell us who owns this specimen? I’m reading that the University of Washington had this sample but unsure if it was donated/purchased or just borrowed from the original owner.

   Thank you! for sharing fabulous pallasite meteorite specimen with the Earth Science Teaching Resource group. May the completion of studies upon the noted unusual features add to the story.

   Are there two phases in the iron or is that due to coarse texture?

   and now my photo is an illustration in Elements Magazine p.139. "(I) Polished, etched section of “Tibet” pallasite Gyarub Zangbo containing Fo77–78 olivine crystals set in an iron–nickel matrix (kamacite and taenite displaying a Widmanstätten pattern). Sample and photo: Steve Juvertson."
