Los 31 | CHELYABINSK METEORITE END PIECE — FROM A FIREBALL THAT RESULTED IN MORE THAN 1100 INJURIES
Schätzwert
$ 2 250 – 2 750
Veins of impact melt snake through the cut and polished matrix accented with metallic flakes. This end piece looks as if it has crashed eventfully to Earth: the reverse reveals a highly marked outer surface with fusion crust. A stark reminder that this meteorite exploded above a populated city.
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.
95 x 30 x 62 mm (3.75 x 1.25 x 2.5 in.) and 141.6g
