G'Day Larense and List
I wouldn't worry too much. What you really want is to throw them into a

Hola to all. In some spanish speacking countries, like M?xico, some
institutions use the female gender to name meteorites, so they call them
METEORITAS, instead of METEORITOS, which is the way they are more
frecuently named.

have even caught myself referring to some of the meteorites I own as a
male of female.

name. Or the Weston, I would definitely call it a male meteorite because
just the word sounds bold and strong when I say his name.
