Meteorite from Sikhote Alin (Siberia), levitating in a brass circle
PUMI2661
This exceptional meteorite comes from the famous Sikhote Alin meteorite shower, observed in Siberia on 12 February 1947 at 10.38 am local time. This event was the largest meteorite shower in modern history.This piece flew alone in the atmosphere as seen with the metal flow on its surface, occured when crossing the earth’s atmosphere.
Today, this rare meteorite has been completely collected and all the pieces are in the hands of collectors. Containing metal ( 6% of the meteorites fallen on Earth), it is composed of Kamacite, an alloy of iron and nickel that doesn't exist on earth, excepted in meteorites. Objet de Curiosité sublimates this huge celestial fragment thanks to an exclusive assembly: an ingenious system that allow the meteorite to levitate in a brass circle, defying the laws of gravity.
The design, inspired by Jules Verne's aesthetics while retaining a contemporary elegance, adds a retro-futuristic touch to this object from outer space.
