Hi all,

Just wanted to show off my latest acquisition, a 93.54 gram specimen of the
famous Barwell meteorite. Barwell fell on 24th December 1965 and was
witnessed by many people and is affectionately known as the Christmas
meteorite. It is the second largest of the UK meteorites after the Wiltshire
stone (Lake House) This particular stone was found on the 6th January by
Jean Ferguson (nee McKellar) who at the time was the Keeper of Geology at
the Leicester Museum and it has been in her possession ever since. I am
especially proud to have such a nice specimen of this historic UK meteoite
in my collection :-) Photos can be seen at the link below:

Martin
