Thanks to Mike G. for the following:
-----
" Mayo is a witnessed fall aubrite and the majority of it sits in the
Nigerian Geological Survey Office. Relatively little is in
collections. US Nat His in Washington has less than 200 grams and
American Nat His in New York has about 600. The Chicago Field Museum
only has 15 grams...... it's one of those obscure falls of a single
stone and the main mass is locked up. You can probably count the
private dealers in the entire world with this fall on one hand."
-----------------
        While the bulk of this post is, to the best of my knowledge,
Accurate, there is only one other dealer has ANY and she got it from me!
(.6g) AND THAT IS THE ONLY PIECE I HAVE EVER SEEN (got it in a
trade over a decade ago from a fellow with excellent reputation who dealt
with the few "honest" dealers out there (there were only about 6 in
Those days). Several have contacted me to inform me she had this .6g piece,
But I already knew that. All of this happened so very long ago, I had no
Idea the value of the piece I had.
        However, I now have a 2 gram specimen that came from the Oscar
Monnig Collection at TCU and INCLUDES THE CARD that came with it.
If anyone has any interest or any idea what it is worth or would like to see
The photo, please contact me off list.
        Best wishes, Michael
