Lot 63 | SPACE GEMS IN NATURAL IRON MATRIX FEATURED IN CUBE OF A TRANSITIONAL SEYMCHAN METEORITE
Valeur estimée
£ 7 000 – 9 000
Cut from a larger meteorite and then machined into cubid form in order to reveal Seymchan’s robust crystalline fingerprint alongside crystals of olivine. The meteorite from which these cubes were hewn was once part of the iron core of an asteroid that experienced an impact and shattered. Portions of the core were propelled into an Earth-crossing orbit. Modern cutting.
2 x 2 x 2in. (5 x 5 x 5cm.)
