Лот 6 | A SEYMCHAN METEORITE SPHERE — AN EXTRATERRESTRIAL CRYSTAL BALL
This specimen originates from a Seymchan meteorite sample that underwent a number of stages of cutting and then grinding and polishing in a sphere-making device. The crystalline habit of the alloys comprising Seymchan’s iron-nickel matrix are seen to great effect adding to the complexity of this three-dimensional presentation. Dazzling amber-hued olivine and peridot crystals are suspended throughout the iron-nickel matrix which has been etched to reveal the beautiful metallic crystalline structure. Supported on stand. Modern cutting.
11/2in. (4cm.) diameter, 2in. (5cm. on stand).
