Gao

The Gao meteorite is an H5 chondrite. Thousands of stones fell on and around the village is Leo in southern Burkina Faso on March 5, 1960. Gao is a very nice chondrite and is a very significant large fall. I have sources in the area who still buy stones from the impoverished locals and ship them to me. When the meteorite fell, they were trading them for rice gram for gram!
