Type: Iron. Octahedrite, coarse (IA). Found: 1776, known before this year.
According to the "Catalogue of Meteorites" many masses, the largest of 300 pounds, were found near Xiquipilco. In the late 18th Century, many of these large masses of meteoritic iron were used to forge agricultural equipment. The two specimens available are both etched, part slices, professionally prepared and protected against oxidization. Both are from the Mull Meteorite collection. Pricing is @ $1.85 / gram.
