国际市场陨石价格及影响因素探索——Bonhams拍卖行近十年数据分析

Price and Its Influence Factor of Meteorite in International Market:Data Analysis from Bonhams Auction House over the Past Decade

通过对英国著名邦瀚斯(Bonhams)拍卖行近十年的陨石拍卖数据的考察,整理并分析了2005年1月至2016年5月该拍卖行全球陨石拍品成交价格记录,结合已公布的南极陨石、降落陨石及阿曼、北非沙漠地区的陨石数据,对国际主流市场影响陨石价格的各种因素进行了分析。结果显示:陨石类型和稀缺性是影响陨石价格的最主要的因素,对于同一类型陨石,其价格受到外观造型、切割部位、重量、是否属于目击陨石、是否曾被名家收藏等各种因素的影响。对陨石市场价值的评估需要对上述要素进行综合判断,才能获得可靠的结论。
