Lot 10 | SIKHOTE ALIN — MATCHLESS SLICE FROM MASSIVE METEORITE SHOWER
Valeur estimée
$ 2 000 – 3 000
It is not often that slices of Sikhote Alin are available and this is a superb example. Similar to lot 63, its signature coarse octahedral crystalline pattern is revealed to great effect. Bands of schreibersite are seen at both the top and lower margin — where a nodule of troilite is also evident. This is a splendid representation from one of the most historic meteorite events of all time.
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.
