METEORITE WITH CUSTOM DISPLAY STAND. 17" x 11" x 9", 155 pound iron meteorite from Campo del Cielo, Argentina. Great overall aesthetic that can be displayed in several orientations, as "space sculpture". Several similar sized iron meteorites have sold for multiples of the high estimate here, and all three specimens are being sold unreserved with estimates just as guidelines. Accompanying 38" decorative wood pedestal for display. CONDITION: surface is very good showing good "fusion crust" where meteorite burned & melted with friction from atmosphere before it impacted. There is some iron oxidation from being on earth for 5000 years. Many collectors remove rust with wire brush if wanted to give a more homogeneous dark surface. PROVENANCE: from the renowned collection of quality sporting arms from Lewis Drake together with inventory of Lewis Drake Associates. (02-23537-1/JS). NON-GUN. $10,000-50,000.
