EHOH 001 is a 12-kilogram meteorite found in Mauritania in December 2019. This relatively coarse grained (gabbroic) eucrite possesses striking features revealed in thin section in this partially cross-polarized image. As in all eucrites, the major mineral constituents are a variety of pyroxene called pigeonite and very calcium-rich plagioclase feldspar. Pigeonite grains are homogeneous when they crystallize from the parent magma, but upon continued cooling the grains separate. Typically exsolved bands are relatively narrow, but in EHOH 001 the banding is much wider, as seen in the colored grains in this image. The palest gray grains are plagioclase and the small black (opaque) grains are mostly chromium- and titanium-bearing oxide minerals.
A 12-color archival pigment on 100% cotton rag and birchwood panel presented in a modern style — frameless, glassless with a satin acrylic finish and a unique back-beveled profile. The panel is signed and numbered — limited edition 1 of 9 — on the reverse.
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.
