Lot 53 | COMPLETE SLICE OF THE ANGRITE NWA 12320 — LAVA FROM ANOTHER WORLD
Valeur estimée
$ 4 000 – 6 000
Evoking an extraterrestrial puzzle piece, numerous vugs accent the cut surface of this pristine specimen. Three large vugs appear as holes as a result of where the meteorite was cut. The dark olive surface has a stippled texture and additional smaller vugs. One side of the specimen is polished. There is terrestrial tinting on the longest edge of the meteorite, indicating which portion of the stone was in contact with the desert’s surface. Angrites are the smallest and most exotic class of a volcanic stone meteorite. Modern cutting.
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.
104 x 85 x 1mm (4 x 3.33 x 0.1 inches) and 26.62 grams
