AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Fragment of the Sericho meteorite. It is a pallasite-type meteorite, metal-rich. It is set in a branch of silver-colored metal and linked to a modern 925 silver cable chain.
Its official discovery was in 2016, in the Sericho region of Kenya. Although local shepherds had known of its existence long before.
This type of meteorites are considered the most beautiful in space for their composition.
Composed of a metallic iron-nickel matrix, whose main minerals are kamacite-taenite. It contains inclusions of olivine crystals in varied tones, ranging from green to orange. Often these crystals are so perfect that they possess gemstone quality.
It is believed they originated in the mantle of large asteroids or protoplanets after suffering a catastrophic destruction in the Solar System.
Customs duties outside the EU will be borne by the auction winner.
Seller's Story
Thousands of years ago, in the ancient cities of Greece, the AGORA was the heart of the community. It was not just a market; it was the place where people gathered to share ideas, discover the world, and marvel at knowledge.
Today, that spirit is reborn, but on a much larger scale. Welcome to AGORA.
Our story doesn't begin decades ago, but billions of years ago. It begins in the vacuum of space, where the violent birth of a star forged the METEORITES that you can touch with your own hands today. It continues beneath the Earth's crust, where the patience of the Earth combined heat, pressure, and time to sculpt the perfect geometry of the MINERALS. And finally, it meets us through ARCHAEOLOGY: the fragments of vases, tools, and coins that our ancestors left behind as clues to who we are.
At AGORA we believe that the most valuable objects are not those that shine on the outside, but those that have a story to tell. We are not just a store; we are a meeting point between the cosmos, the Earth, and humanity.
Each piece in our display cases is an authentic fragment of eternity. A witness of the Big Bang, a secret buried for millennia, or a relic of a lost civilization. Entering here is the beginning of a journey through time. We invite you to discover your own fragment of history.
