Pallasite grabs the most attention due to it's striking gem-quality olivine (peridot) crystals and it's swiss-cheese-like matrix of nickel iron that honeycombs the olivine. But other meteorite types have beauty and are often overlooked. Here is a good mixture of various types, selected for their aesthetic appearance, or just because they are unusual in some way.
BTW, I'll state for the record : I have no connection with any of the sites linked below. Some of the photos are for specimens that are for sale on various dealer websites, I have no connection with these dealers.
First, the wonderful world of Pallasite :
