Лот 18 | DRONINO — A LARGE SLICE OF A SINGULAR METEORITE
Оценочная стоимость
£ 2 500 – 3 500
Iron meteorites are primarily composed of two different iron-nickel alloys, kamacite and taenite. In Dronino, the kamacite contains 7% nickel while rare grains of taenite contain 26%. The banded and elongated accents seen are sulfide inclusions. While there is no other meteorite that has the surface texture of Dronino, the same can be said for the features seen in a cut sample.
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.
