Mineral Specimens from Oregon
OKI-625 Awaruite (Josephenite) Josehhine Co., Oregon.
Ex. Dr. Steve Chamberlain Collection. This is a nickel-iron alloy-bearing rock
named after its place of origin, Josephine County in southwestern Oregon. These
awaruite pebbles occur as detritus in several streams that originate and flow
across the Josephine Peridotite. They are similar in composition to nickel- iron
meteorites but terrestrial in nature. This example measures 2 x 1.1 x
1.2 cm. It is undamaged and an excellent example of this rare material.
