These attractive coins from Cook Islands commemorates the very rare meteorite, a Pallasite, whose fall was recorded in the year 1886. This Proof coin was issue in legal tender in 2007, it is partially Palladium plated and features a real small component of this famous Brenham Meteorite inlaid in the coin. In February 1886 Mrs. Eliza Kimberly found a strange black chunk of stone in the Brenham Fields in Kiowa, Kansas. She identified it as a meteorite straight away but could only let it be specified more precisely by a scientist several years later. It was a very rare meteorite a pallasite. A pallasite is a stony-iron meteorite type. It was named after the German academic Peter Simon Pallas who first described this rare group of meteorites in the years 17721777. They are considered to be very beautiful and consist of about 50 percent iron-nickel and another 50 percent olivine. A small component of this famous Brenham Meteorite, which originated billions of years ago, has been set in this coin. To emphasise the particularity of this issue furthermore, the surface of this coin has selectively been treated with palladium. The untreated surfaces on the moon and the meteorites tail are a strong contrast to the remaining coin and give it a very special visual effect. The coin reverse depicts the Raphael Maklouf effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. WHAT IS A PALLASITE? Meteorites are rocks that have fallen to Earth from space. They are the remains of long-dead planets and asteroids; many or most are believed to originate in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. Pallasites are an extremely rare class, accounting for only about 1% of all known meteorites. Pallasites are packed with beautiful translucent crystals of olivine (the semi-precious gemstone peridot) suspended in a nickel-iron matrix, very much like the bits of fruit in a slice of fruitcake, and are thought to have formed at the core/mantle boundary of an ancient celestial body. When sliced and polished, pallasites are among the most beautiful of meteorites. The color of the olivine crystals can vary from a deep amber to light green depending on the particular meteorite being viewed. In thin slices of pallasites, the crystals are translucent to light. Unfortunately, thin slicing is a poor method of preparing pallasites as the crystals have little metal to hold them in the matrix. Pallasites are very scarce and believed to have formed on differentiated bodies in the transition area between the metal-rich core and the olivine-rich mantle where the olivine could cool slowly enough to form relatively large crystals. The Brenham pallasite is a representative and relatively available example of this class.

31.1 (1 oz). Amazing coin issued by Cook Islands in 2015, made of 1 oz of pure. 999 silver Black Palladium plated, it is the second one of Predator – Prey series. Features a stunning design with a stylized grizzly bear, the predator, and a red salmon, the prey, over a yin-yang background. Mintage extremely limited to 2000 pcs worldwide. Amazing design with black palladium plating high relief to provide a contrasting effect that can see the coins look change as the position of the light source moves. Each of the animals, one of which is placed on each half of the Yin-Yang symbol, is done in an almost Tribal tattoo kind of style and the end result is extremely effective. The coin obverse depicts the effigy of Her Majesty Elizabeth II. Predator-Prey relationships A predator is an organism that eats another organism. The prey is the organism which the predator eats. Some examples of predator and prey are lion and zebra, bear and fish, and fox and rabbit. The words “predator” and “prey” are almost always used to mean only animals that eat animals, but the same concept also applies to plants: Bear and berry, rabbit and lettuce, grasshopper and leaf. Predator and prey evolve together. The prey is part of the predator’s environment, and the predator dies if it does not get food, so it evolves whatever is necessary in order to eat the prey: speed, stealth, camouflage (to hide while approaching the prey), a good sense of smell, sight, or hearing (to find the prey), immunity to the prey’s poison, poison (to kill the prey) the right kind of mouth parts or digestive system, etc. Likewise, the predator is part of the prey’s environment, and the prey dies if it is eaten by the predator, so it evolves whatever is necessary to avoid being eaten: speed, camouflage (to hide from the predator), a good sense of smell, sight, or hearing (to detect the predator), thorns, poison (to spray when approached or bitten), etc. The fastest lions are able to catch food and eat, so they survive and reproduce, and gradually, faster lions make up more and more of the population. The fastest zebras are able to escape the lions, so they survive and reproduce, and gradually, faster zebras make up more and more of the population. An important thing to realize is that as both organisms become faster to adapt to their environments, their relationship remains the same: because they are both getting faster, neither gets faster in relation to the other. This is true in all predator-prey relationships. The item “GRIZZLY SALMON Predator Prey Yin Yang Palladium Silver Coin 5$ Cook Islands 2015″ is in sale since Monday, October 27, 2014.
