Here is my incredible 55.2 gram observed fall Johnstown Diogenite. I am still unclear of the origination of the piece or the label. Perhaps some of you can help me decipher. An observed fall over a funeral in Colorado, this specific piece is my top shelf item. Enjoy. (Photo credit and provided by Matt Morgan of Mile High Meteorites)
