Lot 55 | NWA 6932 METEORITE — A COMPLETE SLICE OF AN ANOMALOUS PLESSITIC IRON METEORITE
Valeur estimée
$ 3 000 – 4 000
In this highly exotic presentation of an iron meteorite, the typical crystalline latticework associated with most iron meteorites is absent. Unique kamacite spindles and crosses accent the cut surface. The different alloys typically found in the metallic matrix of iron meteorites exist only granularly in this singular example. Small troilite inclusions are scattered throughout. The meteorite’s natural external surface runs the length of its rim. 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.
133 x 215 x 3mm (5.25 x 8.5 x 0.1 in.) and 521.7 grams (1 lb)
