Hi George,

I don't know of many pieces of Weston over 10g in private hands. A couple larger private collections including mine hold pieces around 30g, but much of it I suspect is held in institutions.

Here is a pic of my piece. The specimen number is a Nininger number from when ASU acquired some of the Nininger collection many years ago.

My column in The Meteorite Times that contained this photo is found at:

Happy viewing.

Martin
