Lot 78 | A CHINGA METEORITE
Valeur estimée
£ 2 500 – 3 500
Wrapped in original dark pewter patina with russet pockets, this engaging meteorite is of a surprisingly dense teardrop form.
Many masses, up to 20 kg, were found in 1913. The meteorite is labeled “ungrouped,” indicating that it does not herald from any of the well-established iron meteorite groups. Chinga may be the only known representative of its parent asteroid.

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.
