  Iron, IIAB

TKW 2.1 tons. Fall not observed. Found 1837, Coahuila, Mexico.

From The Handbook of Iron Meteorites by Vagn Buchwald (vol. 2, pg. 484, fig. 642):
Etched sections show Coahuila to be a single kamacite crystal, at least as far as sectioning goes. Rhabdites of various sizes are precipitated in crystallographic directions and Neumann bands cross the entire surfaces uniformly.

I'm not an iron expert or even an novice, but the "single kamacite" crystal statement from Buchwald's book makes me ask the simple question: Is all 2.1 tons (or ~ 9 ft3 = 3' x 3' in size) of this iron from a single kamacite crystal that was several times bigger to start with? If this is true, then what are the limits on the size of single crystal?

Coahuila contains ureyite, a chrome pyroxene!
