Lot 64 | NWA 2085 PARTIAL END PIECE
This stunning meteorite exhibits a swirl of metal and stone that shows it was melted as the result of a collision on its parent asteroid. These melt rocks are rare (only thirty or so are known); they provide a beautiful presentation of a meteorite whose interior is reminiscent of images of the cosmos.

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.
