This is the sixth annual Summers Place Evolution auction, and this year's selection is as fine, if not finer, than any that have gone before.
The sheer variety and quality of the items featured is staggering in its intensity, and such is the intrinsic fascination of so many of the lots that it is difficult to choose highlights. Even the less highly priced items are wonderful examples of their kind.
Meteorites are always objects that arouse a great curiosity, and this is for a variety of reasons - not least among them being the idea that some people have, that these heavenly fragments were the means of first bringing life to Earth. Among those offered here are two truly enormous and rare examples of what are known as Gibeon meteorites.
