Lot 63 | A LARGE GIBEON IRON METEORITE
Valeur estimée
£ 30 000 – 50 000
Of robust form with two prominent scoops to the upper surface, a rich mango patina drapes the surface of the meteorite with highlighted accents to the ridges; the shape seen here is the product of a combination of variables including its composition, its shape upon entering Earth’s atmosphere, its interaction with the chemistry of the soil in which it landed, its orientation in the ground, the amount of groundwater to which it was exposed — and the amount of time it sat in the Kalahari Desert.17 x 9 x 101/4in. (43 x 23 x 26cm.)88kg.
