Eldorado Posted February 2, 2019 #1 Share Posted February 2, 2019 "Forget chocolates: What’s a better way to show that special someone your appreciation for them than with a heart-shaped meteorite? For a hefty sum, the 320 million-year-old rarity could be yours. British auction house Christie’s announced the so-called “Heart of Space” will be up for auction starting Feb. 6 through Feb. 14, which also happens to be Valentine's Day." Full monty at Fox: https://www.foxnews.com/science/rare-heart-shaped-meteorite-up-for-auction-ahead-of-valentines-day "One of the finest meteorites in private hands. This specimen originates from the biggest meteorite shower of the last several thousand years. Its journey began 320 million years ago, when a giant iron mass broke-off from its parent body in the asteroid belt and wandered through space until it encountered Earth on 12 February 1947."
