Deep Impact: Martian, Lunar and Other Rare Meteorites
Registration open: 19 April
Bidding: 3 – 10 May 2017
Christie's is proud to present its third online only auction of important and aesthetic meteorites.
Led by prized examples of naturally sculpted metallic meteorites, the sale features some of the oldest objects in the world - at 4.5 billion years old, they are a third as old as time itself.
Incredibly rare meteorites that originate from the surface of the Moon and the planet Mars are offered alongside a series of stunning slices and spheres of the most beautiful meteorites known to man. These extraordinary works of art from outer-space will appeal to seasoned collectors and those exploring this exciting category for the first time.
This curated selection includes some of the rarest and most sculptural examples of meteorites available. From the dramatic jewel-like pieces to raw natural shapes reminiscent of abstract sculpture, now is your chance to own a piece of another world.
