Lot 187 | EXTRATERRESTRIAL GEMSTONES IN METALLIC MATRIX — COMPLETE SLICE OF A SEYMCHAN METEORITE
Valeur estimée
£ 3 000 – 5 000
A highly aesthetic Seymchan slice. The small metal-rich areas display a prominent Widmanstätten pattern to one side and a mirror polish to the other. The olivine-rich aggregates were derived from a fragmented olivine layer at the bottom of the mantle that was invaded by a metallic liquid during mixing at the core-mantle boundary; supported on fitted stand. Modern cutting.
6 x 31/2in. (14.8 x 9.3 x 0.2cm.)
