Description

Canyon Diablo Meteorite
Iron, IAB-MG
Meteor Crater, Coconino County
Arizona, USA - (35° 3'N, 111° 2'W)
Found: 1891

A relatively flat bottom allows this Canyon Diablo Meteorite to rest in an ideal orientation without need of a base. The blocky Iron is nonetheless rather shapely and artistic in form. Minor surface exfoliation is noticeable over the reddish-brown exterior of the Arizona product. Weighing 880 grams, this space rock has nice size and displays extremely well. Associated with the famed Meteor Crater, this example of the crater-forming meteorite stands as a solid representation of the iconic type, which is becoming harder to acquire.
Measurements: 3.34 x 2.89 x 2.19 inches (8.48 x 7.34 x 5.57 cm), weighs 879.9 grams
