Natural sculpture from outer space ☄️ 💫⠀

'The best Gibeons are hands down my favourite meteorites. Shaped by forces in space for billions of years, and then further sculpted by the change of the seasons on Earth's surface over millennia, choice Gibeons are exquisitely well-balanced, abstract forms. This is a particularly fine example.'⠀
explains the Head of Science & Natural History at Christie's in London, James Hyslop.⠀
.⠀
An exceedingly small percentage of meteorites are aesthetically shaped. The visual appeal of some is the result of atmospheric sculpting during their fiery plunge to Earth; the beguiling forms of others is due to slowly weathering on Earth's surface as the seasons change over thousands of years.⠀
