A sizable and hefty (536 grams) chunk of Iron (Canyon Diablo) from the famed Meteor Crater of Arizona. This was collected April 3rd, 1940 by Severn Brown, at that time this was called Canyon Diablo hence the name of the Meteorites from this locality. Nice patina overall and some bright metallic areas. Some oxidation is noted, this is usually removed by wire brush when these are sold but we have left this as is in the natural state. This famed locality had produced many Meteorite fragments over the past 110 years, these are now rather uncommon in larger sizes like this. Specimens can be found on line priced from $1.00-8.00 per gram in smaller sizes, larger pieces are usually quite a lot more..
