Оценочная стоимость
$ 2 000 – 3 000
NWA 10693 contains olivine macrocrysts set in a relatively coarse grained groundmass primarily comprised of pyroxene, maskelynite with accessory chromite, ilmenite (with rare inclusions), merrillite and pyrrhotite.
The cut interior surface of this sample is a hued gray with a heterogeneous distribution of dark grains. The reverse is covered with approximately 70% fusion crust. Two sandy areas seen are the result of this meteorite’s residency in the Sahara Desert prior to its discovery. 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.
The analysis of this meteorite was led by Dr. Anthony Irving, whose findings underwent peer review by the Nomenclature Committee of the Meteoritical Society. The analysis and classification was published in the 105th edition of the Meteoritical Bulletin — the official registry of meteorites.
