Лот 40 | ABA PANU METEORITE – COMPLETE SLICE
Оценочная стоимость
$ 1 500 – 2 500
Specimens of Aba Panu with two lithologies are especially sought-after and this is a highly aesthetic example. The shape of this slice, the somewhat circular light-colored clast and the contrast between the light and dark lithologies evoke a primitive abstract drawing.
One face of this complete slice is highly polished while the reverse has a matte finish. The alternation between lithologies enchants. Chondrules (the spherical silicate-rich inclusions for which the chondrite class of meteorites are named) and chondrule fragments abound. Armored chondrules (chondrules sheathed in iron-nickel and sulfide) are also in evidence and, in what is a signature feature of most fresh chondrites, gleaming flakes of metal are dispersed throughout the matrix. Patches of fusion crust run along the perimeter of the specimen. At 4.56 billion years of age, this engaging specimen is older than Earth; relative to the age of our solar system, this originates at the edge of time. Modern cutting.
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.
