Lot 43 | UNIQUE METEORITE NWA 6704 — AN ENIGMATIC GLEAMING ROCK FROM OUTER SPACE
Valeur estimée
$ 12 000 – 18 000
NWA 6704 is so special that in February 2020 a team of scientists concluded in an article published in The Astronomical Journal that NWA 6704 provides insights into the evolution of planetary bodies and possibly in the ice-rich outer solar system and “Currently, we lack an understanding of the distribution of potential parent asteroids.” With its green-hued crystals glimmering amidst silvery nickel-rich metal, this is a choice sample of an enigmatic and visually captivating meteorite. Accompanied by a custom armature.
