Space rocks go under the hammer
Some of the world’s most famous meteorites are going under the hammer at a New York auction house in what is said to be the first sale of its kind.
The pieces are drawn from collections across the world and many examples are richly coloured and intricately patterned.
Price estimates range from $1.1m (£0.53m) for a 13-kilo (29-pound) piece to pebbles worth a few hundred dollars.
