32.3 gram part slice.   Hexahedrite

Anne writes:
Long an unclassified meteorite but we finally know, thanks to Eduardo Jawerbaum and John Wasson.

I quote from a John Wasson communication with ICATE institute:

Huaytiquina: cannot be resolved from the North Chile hexahedrites (e.g., Filomena):
Huaytiquina IIAB
  Cr 55
  Co 4.50
  Ni 56.7
  Cu 129
  Ga 60.0
  As 4.75
  W 2.53
  Ir 3.41
  Pt 21.2
  Au 0.604
Salta province is over 180km from North Chile meteorite area. I think it will be very difficult that a specimen from that meteorite fell in Salta so I guess it was "transported" but can't confirm or deny that.
