Similar to the previous lot. Recovered from the Atacama Desert atop the Andes, the highest elevated desert on Earth. This specimen and the next originate from the single largest Imilac meteorite known to exist — the 198 kg main mass — that has been on exhibit for decades at the Natural History Museum in London (formerly the British Museum of Natural History).
