From my 4/28/16 visit to the Smithsonian. A half stone, 4"x4" in size, and likely 500 plus grams.

A little bigger than my collection examples :/

"Observed fall 15 June 15 1921" ===> 1821, Two of the first three (third was Juvinas) witnessed eucrite falls were in France, near the beginning of the 1800's. Thanks John!
