This specimen originates from a Seymchan meteorite sample that underwent a number of stages of cutting and then grinding and polishing in a sphere-making device. The crystalline habit of the alloys comprising Seymchan’s iron-nickel matrix are seen to great effect adding to the complexity of this three-dimensional presentation. Dazzling amber-hued olivine and peridot crystals are suspended as if Islands in a see of the iron-nickel matrix, which has been etched to reveal the beautiful metallic crystalline structure. Supported on stand. Modern cutting. 21⁄4in. (5.5cm.) diameter 761g. Please note this lot is the property of a trader. See H1 of the Conditions of Sale.
