Lot 24 | CAMPO DEL CIELO METEORITE — ENGAGING IRON METEORITE
Valeur estimée
$ 5 000 – 8 000
Surprisingly dense, a large shallow scoop containing smaller sockets is delimited between two peaks in this winsome meteorite. The reverse surface is slightly convex. A pewter patina with graphite-hued accents blanket the finely stippled texture. This engaging meteorite is the result of both extraterrestrial and terrestrial sculpting: the effects of blazing frictional heating during its descent through Earth’s atmosphere along with its multi-millennial exposure to the elements while perched on Earth’s surface. Bright and attractive overall, this is an exemplary meteorite from a historic meteorite shower.
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.
