No, we DO NOT have a "man-made pallasite". A pallasite IS a type meteorite.

has anybody ever seen a crusted piece of this "fall" for that matter? aren't crust pieces from falls worth more than others? why would someone trim off the crust into square pieces? in fact, pallasites have cool crust w/ metal and olivene mix (have nice pieces of glorieta). i would really like to

let´s play, Shirovsky is a man-made one, ok? It has all characteristics of

A diamond mined is a diamond, a synthetic one has same characteristics,
but is a man-made one, so both of them are diamonds. This is
