Lot 15 | A LARGE DRONINO METEORITE
Estimate value
£ 7 000 – 10 000
This upright meteorite features furrowed textures with a distinctive peaked formation at its apex. 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 envelops the meteorite’s surface.
181/2 x 181/2 x 73/4in. (47 x 47 x 20cm.) on stand
