Description:

A 16.55 kg stone, mostly covered with dark gray fusion crust, was found in a corn field after a farmer hit it with a plow, in July 1979, near Buenos aires, Argentina.  It was a shield-shape oriented mass but sadly it was broken in pieces shortly after the discovery.

It is a most unusual meteorite, an angrite, with many vugs, some quite large and containing tiny white crystals, and rarely some green crystals of olivine. 

A remarkably large slice, about 80 x 62 x 7mm.

 

Smaller specimens are also available.  Please ask.
