The Sericho meteorite is a pallasite meteorite, a rare type of stony-iron meteorite containing olivine crystals embedded in an iron-nickel matrix. It was discovered in Kenya, near the town of Sericho, in 2016, though locals had been aware of the stones for many years. Pallasites like Sericho are believed to originate from the boundary between the core and mantle of differentiated asteroids. The Sericho meteorite is notable for its large, well-formed olivine crystals, making it highly valued by collectors and researchers.

The Aletai meteorite is a large iron meteorite classified as an IIIAB iron meteorite, primarily composed of iron and nickel, with trace amounts of other elements. It was discovered in the Xinjiang region of China and is part of the broader group of meteorites found in the region, sometimes referred to as the "Armanty" or "Aletai" group. The meteorite exhibits a Widmanstätten pattern, a distinctive crystalline structure formed by the slow cooling of iron-nickel alloys in space. Due to its size and composition, it is of great interest to both scientists and collectors.
