Lot 65 | PART SLICE OF NWA 11329 — FROM THE ASTEROID VESTA, METEORITE REVEALS TRANSITIONING OF MELT-ZONE
Valeur estimée
$ 1 000 – 1 400
This polished slice is cut on three edges and features inclusions of orthopyroxene along with plagioclase, chromite and ilmenite within a fine-grained, melt-textured matrix. To dramatic effect, this specimen reveals the gradation between regions of brecciation and impact melt — the result of a massive collision on its parent asteroid in interplanetary space.
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.
