Details
This upright meteorite features furrowed textures, surmounted by a three-pronged formation resembling a radiant crown. This rich texture, as well as the meteorite’s distinctive morphology, are the result of terrestrialization (exposure to Earth’s elements) and the atypical nickel-rich composition of the meteorite. A pewter to platinum patina envelops the meteorite’s surface.
914 x 434 x 412in. (24 x 12.5 x 12cm.)
5.4kg
