Hola List
Dolores: medium octahedrite IIIAB
Solitary specimen 4.3 Kg
Found 2002.
This beautiful iron shows the Widmanstatten pattern, naturally carved on
the surface. You can see the picture in www.meteorites.cl

Classification: John Wasson UCLA

It is a IIIAB iron with about 7 microg/g Ir. There is no Chilean iron with
such an Ir content. There is one iron from South America, the large iron
called Sanclerlandia, that is similar in composition.

I will sell only 2 slices, since I want to preserve this meteorite, with
their beautiful widmanstatten surface, in my collection.
