Imilac meteorites are known for their unique properties. They belong to the category of pallasites and are classified as PMG (Pallasite-MG), a designation that includes pallasites that contain some amount of olivine and nickel-iron.
Imilac is the name given to a particular pallasite that was discovered in the Imilac region of Chile and whose discovery dates back to the 19th century. Pallasites are interesting because they combine the minerals olivine (also known as peridot) and an iron-nickel matrix. Imilac is one of the best known specimens in this group due to its aesthetically attractive, green olivine crystals that are beautifully embedded in an iron-nickel matrix metal.
It was found in the Imilac region of Chile, where it was discovered in the 19th century. This meteorite is famous for being one of the first pallasites to be described in 1822.
Imilac is often prized for its beautiful olivine crystals that can be seen in the metallic iron matrix. This combination makes Imilac an attractive piece for collectors and scientists.
