Famous Canyon Diablo Iron-Nickel Meteorite. This 474 Gram (over one pound) 3 ¼ X 2 1/2 inch Canyon Diablo iron-nickel meteorite is an excellent shaped palm sized specimen with a few distinctive regamaglypts of one of the most sought after iron meteorites by collectors. Most available Canyon Diablo meteorites are flakes that weigh just a few grams. The nearly one mile in diameter crater near Winslow, Arizona was created over 50,000 years ago when a 50 foot in diameter meteorite exploded high over the Arizona desert. Since no specimens are available from the source at Meteor Crater, the only way to acquire a specimen is when specimens are made available from collections. Estimated Value $500 - 900
Collection of Richard Kosta.
