Specimen weight: 35.78 grams This specimen has provenance of the Ron Oriti Meteorie Collection. He was a famous meteorite collector and his collection was auctioned off in April, 2008. I bought the Calico Rock and divided it up. This rare iron was found in Izard County, Arkansas, in 1938 and Mr. Oriti helped to identify it as a meteorite as well as purchasing the entire mass. A single piece weighing only 7,275 grams was found. This meteorite is an iron, Hexahedrite (IIAB). This meteorite is virtually absent from private collections.
