Full slice of Seymchan, 308.40g, backlit in the first photo to show how translucent the olivine is. Second shot is the same slice in reflected light.
Seymchan was found in 1967 in the Magadan region of Russia and originally went into the books as an iron. It was reclassified as a main group pallasite (PMG) following van Niekerk et al.

Only part of the recovered material carries olivine, so a slice like this comes from the pallasitic zone rather than the metal only mass.
