Lot 52 | ZARAGOZA PARTIAL IRON METEORITE SLICE
Zaragoza is an unusual iron meteorite, the main mass of which was acquired by Michael Farmer in 2006. This slice, displaying a fine, almost imperceptible, Widmanstätten pattern, is cut flat to basal edge, the top edge reminiscent of a Pyrenean mountain range. The meteorite crystallized deep within the molten core of a differentiated asteroid orbiting the Sun between Mars and Jupiter.

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.
