other locations, including the United States and Pakistan, where many of the best specimens

THE QUESTION
What Was It Made Of?
The majority of it was purchased by an
American collector and divided for sale. Special laser beams and spectrometry were used to
detect elements such as lithium, vanadium, cobalt, manganese, nickel, and zinc. Which helps
both researchers and buyers to understand more about the gems' origin.
According
to a new study, pallasites were formed by a collision between an asteroid and a body the
size of a planet that was just one-third the size of the Earth.

With over ten years of marketing
experience, I finally decided to settle down in Bangkok to work in an area that I have
always been interested in: the gemstones industry. I'm still learning how the market works
on a daily basis, and I enjoy sharing my experience with those who are interested in
learning more about gems in general.
