"Rare, fascinating and beautiful, the meteorites in our upcoming online
sale are coveted by science and art collectors alike

Meteorites, the solid pieces of debris that fall to earth from comets or
asteroids, can be over four billion years old. Yet only recently have
they become hot property at auction. Scarce supply and increasing demand
for aesthetic iron meteorites have generated a sharp rise in the market
for sculptures from outer space. Christie?s is marking their
popularity with a unique auction Deep Impact: Martian, Lunar and Other
Rare Meteorites aimed at both the new buyer and the sophisticated
collector, and spanning a wide spectrum of substance, size and
continent. ?These pieces have transcended their appeal from dedicated
meteorite followers to the wider art market,? says James Hyslop, Head
of Science and Natural History at Christie?s. Here is our pick of
five of the most beautiful and fascinating of the 30 collectibles being
sold online at Christie?s between 11 and 25 November."
