Classification
Imilac is classified as a stony–iron pallasite. Imilac specimens are highly prized by meteorite collectors due to its high concentration of beautiful olivine grains.
Strewn field
Numerous masses were found in a valley to the SW of Imilac. The total weight of the Imilac fall is estimated to be around Шаблон:Convert. The primary strewn field is long about Шаблон:Convert.[1]
Specimens
Due to weathering, intact olivine grains are present only on large specimens (over Шаблон:Convert). Smaller samples contain darker altered olivine crystals. On the market there are also a lot of very small (few grams) Imilac individuals called metal skeletons: they are severely weathered and lack olivine grains.
