Imilac – a highly attractive pallasite

Imilac is a highly prized pallasite from the Atacama Desert in Chile, celebrated for its aesthetic large olivine crystals embedded in an iron–nickel matrix, making it one of the most attractive pallasites.

Discovery and locality

The meteorite was found in 1822 near the Imilac mountains in northern Chile. It forms an extensive strewn field several kilometres long, with dozens to hundreds of fragments of various sizes.

Mass and fragments

The total known weight of Imilac is estimated at about 920 kg. Larger specimens usually preserve olivine crystals well, while smaller heavily weathered pieces may be mostly metallic (“metal skeletons”) with little or no olivine remaining.
