Lot 149 | AN UPRIGHT DRONINO METEORITE
Estimate value
£ 5 000 – 8 000
This upright meteorite features a coarse rugged texture with distinctive formations. This furrowed surface, 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. Supported on magnetic stand.
