Los 37 | ADMIRE PALLASITE – GEMSTONES FROM SPACE
Schätzwert
$ 12 000 – 18 000
The first two masses of Admire were discovered while plowing a field in Lyon County, Kansas in 1881. More than a century later, enterprising meteorite hunters returned to the site, and after more plowing (with the use of a metal detector), additional samples of Admire were recovered.
This complete slice of an Admire meteorite is delimited by the meteorite’s external surface. Suspended in the polished metallic matrix of the parent asteroid’s iron core, angular, extraterrestrial crystals of olivine and peridot of all sizes provide a superior example of Admire’s olivine signature. Modern cutting.
