Lot 206 | A DRONINO METEORITE
Estimate value
£ 7 000 – 10 000
The deceptively weighty meteorite with furrowed textures and jagged edges on a sweeping formation. This rich texture, as well as the meteorite’s distinctive morphology, are the result of terrestrialization (exposure to Earth’s elements) and the atypical nickel-rich composition of the meteorite. A pewter to platinum patina covers the meteorite’s surface.

12 x 7 x 3in. (30.5 x 18 x 7.5cm.)
6.7kg.
