The Admire Meteorite is named for the town of Admire in Lyon County of Kansas. It is said that the first mass was found by a farmer plowing his field. The meteorite is classified as a Pallasite stony-iron meteorite that contains a mixture of Olivine crystals and Nickel-Iron metal in approximately equal amounts. This specimen of Admire is a finely polished slices that show the Olivine crystals in a wonderful way; especially when backlit. The Olivine in Pallasites is the same as the gemstone Peridot but this one is special. It is from Outer Space and not from the Earth Our specimens of Admire are finely prepared polished slices that show the olivine crystals in a wonderful way. Many of the slices have been cut so that the yellow color of the extraterrestrial olivine can be seen when the specimens are backlit. The olivine in pallasites is the same mineral as the gemstone Peridot but these peridot are special they are not from the Earth.
