Los 36 | ALLENDE COMPLETE SLICE — OLDEST MATTER MANKIND CAN TOUCH
Schätzwert
$ 2 000 – 3 000
Allende fell to Earth on February 8, 1969 at 1:05 AM near Chihuahua, Mexico. Several new minerals have been discovered in Allende including the titanium oxide panguite named after the ancient Chinese god Pan Gu who separated yin from yang, the earth from the sky.
This complete slice of Allende is wrapped in an edge of fusion crust that formed during its fiery plunge through Earths’ atmosphere. The charcoal-hued matrix is filled with a galaxy of inclusions including CAIs. Nearly a centimeter in diameter at the upper right margin is an especially large CAI — the oldest matter mankind can touch. Modern cutting.
Christie's would like to thank Dr. Alan E. Rubin at the Department of Earth, Planetary, and Space Sciences, University of California, Los Angeles for his assistance in preparing this catalogue.
113 x 146 x 2mm (4.5 x 5.75 x 0.1 in.) and 114.9g (0.25 lbs)
