Hi MikeG,

Most is in museums, but the largest pieces I know of in private collections
are 136 grams and 338 grams.

TM is an interesting pallasite and there isn't really anything that looks
like it. Small to tiny round olivine and very translucent honey and lager
colored crystals.

Hi Mike and List,

Wow, the olivines are gorgeous on that Thiel Mountains specimen. I
also like the overall rounded shapes of the olivines in that piece.
Does anyone know what the largest piece of privately-held Thiel
Mountains pallasite is?

Best regards,

MikeG
