Лот 49 | SAUCEDA DE LA BORDA – AN INCREDIBLY RARE IRON METEORITE SLICE
Оценочная стоимость
£ 3 000 – 5 000
The complete slice with shimmering etch to reveal a Widmanstätten pattern with graphite and troilite inclusions.
The meteorite was found sticking out of the ground in October 2016 by a man clearing brush near a dirt road.
One of only 3 slices of this meteorite: the main mass is now in the Arizona State University Center for Meteorite Studies collection. Michael Farmer acquired the entire meteorite from the finder and exchanged the entire meteorite less 3 slices to ASU.

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.
181 mm x 135 mm x 5 mm (71/8 x 51/3 x 1/8 in.)
