Sorry for the typo. I'm sure it isn't the first you've ever seen.
That is 100% Campo del Cielo.
Yes, it's pretty easy to identify.
Enjoy the meteorite. What was it, $200 on eBay?

My meteorite has been confirmed as the real thing by staff of the Meteorite Lab at Portland State University, who would like to perform classification. It is 11.2 kg, and according to PSU staff, it will be only the seventh classified meteorite ever found in the state of Oregon.

They advertise it as just the thing for cutting irons. I?m interested to know anything about blade life, rim speed, feed rate, and using plain water as a coolant/lubricant. For cutting the analysis sample, I have machining experience and very suitable tools, except for the blade, which I would like to be a circular blade.
