142.1 grams.   CV3

TKW 2 tons. Observed fall 8 February 1969, at the village of Pueblito de Allende, Chihuahua, Mexico.



Paul writes:
This is one of the slices that Bob Falls cut from a big Allende and introduced at the 2014 Tucson Gem and Mineral Show.

The acrylic stand sat on the nubby back of a Riker box, which made an interesting interaction with the polished brass scale cube.
