Found over 50 years ago. The owner has died and his wife sold his things, including this large iron meteorite. No exact find location is known.

It weighed 162 kilograms.

It is not yet classified, but seems to be a fine octahedrite, cosmically heated and partially recrystalized. We have found an inclusion  which appears to be a red spinel in one of the triolite inclusions. It has been looked at in the lab at U of A and by Harold Connally himself. The red crystals are tiny, but look like gemstones!

Expect a lot of information later.

Above you you can see photos of the main mass before cutting, with myself in the bulldozer with my new meteorite! Robert Ward and I cut the mass only two weeks ago. You can also see the cut face.
