Lot 188 | A DRONINO METEORITE CUBE - AN EXOTIC SAMPLE FROM INTERPLANETARY SPACE
Estimate value
£ 3 000 – 5 000
Cut to a cube with the surface polished to highlight platinum-hued patina — the result of a centuries-long interaction of this meteorite’s unique chemical composition with that of moist earth. A singularly atypical meteorite, this is a select Dronino specimen; modern cutting.
