Lot 99 | A COMPLETE SLICE OF A SEYMCHAN METEORITE - EXTRATERRESTRIAL GEMSTONES IN METALLIC MATRIX
Valeur estimée
£ 4 000 – 6 000
A highly aesthetic Seymchan slice. The metal-rich vein etched to reveal the prominent latticework Widmanstätten pattern. The olivine-rich aggregates were derived from a fragmented olivine layer at the bottom of the mantle that was invaded by a metallic liquid during mixing at the core-mantle boundary, the aggregates concertating in several regions across the surface. Modern cutting.
91/2 x 41/4 in. (24 x 11 x 0.5cm.)
478g.
