Lot 1647
Aesthetic Sikhote-Alin Meteorite With Regmaglypts. Good sized, 3 x 1.7 x 1 inch, 312 gram, Sikhote-Alin iron nickel specimen is the rarer of the two meteorite types, possessing many regmaglypts -- small crater-like impressions formed by ablation of Troilite when the meteorite was streaking through the sky at high temperature. The large meteorite body broke up twice during its fall to Earth, with only the higher breakup creating the meteorites with regmaglypts.
