Found 2024 / TKW: 2.2 kg
El Milhas 009 was found by gold prospectors less than a year ago, which is most apt as what was found was indeed otherworldly “gold”. El Milhas 009 is the only anomalous bencubbenite on record, and with a TKW of only 2,199 grams there is precious little available to the collector.
94 x 40 x 2mm (3.75 x 1.5 x 0.1 inches) and 25.9 grams.
Provenance:
Macovich Collection, New York City
Estimate $4,500 – 6,500 * No Reserve
