Largest Mars Rock on Earth Up for Auction in NYC for $4 Million
A 54-pound Mars rock, known as NWA 16788, is set to be auctioned at Sotheby's in New York City. The rock, with an estimated price of $2-4 million, is attracting attention due to its extraterrestrial origin and unique appearance. The auction is expected to draw significant interest from collectors and space enthusiasts alike.
Tucked away in a building on the corner of 72nd Street and York Avenue in Lenox Hill, an extraterrestrial marvel sits sturdily on a white pedestal. It's the largest Mars rock on planet Earth — and it turns out its 54-pound (25-kilogram), ashy terracotta structure isn't as priceless as you'd expect.
This Mars rock is up for auction at Sotheby's in New York City this week, which is why it's currently on display in the Upper East Side. As of now, it's expected to sell for between $2 million and $4 million, but it could very well sell for far more.
