Lot 87 | A SERICHO METEORITE SPHERE — AN EXTRATERRESTRIAL CRYSTAL BALL
Valeur estimée
£ 3 000 – 5 000
This specimen originates from a Sericho meteorite sample that underwent a number of stages of cutting and then grinding and polishing in a sphere-making device. The crystalline habit of the alloys comprising Sericho's iron-nickel matrix are seen to great effect adding to the complexity of this three-dimensional presentation. Amber-hued peridot crystals are suspended throughout the iron-nickel matrix.

diameter: 23/8in. (6cm.)
