This polished sphere was fashioned from a meteorite that crash-landed into a dry riverbed in Russia. On Wednesday it soared again, not through space but at an auction house, snagging $130,000 — nine times its asking price.

The meteorite was a part of a cosmic collection put up for sale at Christie’s in London. But it was one of only a few space rocks to take off. The meteorite encrusted in extraterrestrial gemstones, given a high valuation of $1.1 million, did not sell.

Neither did some of the other heavy hitters such as the $639,000 Martian meteorite, a $426,600 chunk of the Chelyabinsk fireball that exploded over Russia in 2013 nor the $355,500 rock that looks like a metallic screaming face.
