Lot 85 | A LARGE MUONIONALUSTA METEORITE END PIECE — SHIMMERING CRYSTALLINE STRUCTURE IN A METEORITE THAT FELL 1 MILLION YEARS AGO
Valeur estimée
£ 45 000 – 60 000
This sizeable complete slice features the robust crystalline fingerprint of a Muonionalusta meteorite. Inclusions of graphite-hued troilite that are plentiful in archetypal Muonionalusta specimens are almost entirely absent. As a result, this specimen exhibits the shimmering latticework of its crystalline structure. Modern fashioning, the reverse left uncut and unpolished, a striking contrast to the beautiful geometric matrix to the opposite surface, supported on stand.
14 x 21 x 31/2in. (35.5 x 53 x 8.5cm.)
21.3kg.
