Also a late addition, lot 279, BRAHIN, a slice of a metorite high in concentration of Olivine and a bright shiny nickle-iron composition that resembles chrome along with other minerals,

Museum style label reads: "Brahin, Gomel Region, Byelarus, Found 1810, Stoney-Iron Pallesite (PAL)". Meteorites were found in a zone about 15 km long and 3 km wide crossed by the Dnieper River. Brahin is a Main Group pallasite, with angular shaped olivine embedded in an iron-nickel matrix. Olivine crystals represent about 37 of the weight of the meteorite. Pallasites are not commons, they compose only 1.8 % of all known meteorites. It has been proposed that pallasites represents the interface between the stone mantle and the metal core of differentiated asteroids.(source: Wikipedia)
