Canyon Diablo comes from Meteor Crater in Winslow, AZ.  It is the best preserved meteorite crater in the world. In addition, it is the only major natural history site that is in private hands in the US.   Classic Iron meteorite, most folks feel it hit about 50,000 years ago. Cheesy

This is 1,100 grams.

Very nice!  The Widmanstätten patterns are my favorite features of the iron meteorites.
