5 grams.   CM1/2

TKW 60 grams. Fall not observed. Purchased 12 June 2014 in Morocco.

Shawn writes:
Here is one of the rarest carbonaceous meteorites ever found. This ultra-cool meteorite is classified as a CM1/2 - it's a type of carbonaceous meteorite that has NEVER been found outside of Antarctica till now.

Although this small stone (under 100 grams) is very fresh it was already broken into small fragments when found. The obvious reason is because it's very friable - much like Orgueil and Ivuna (CI1) -and is probably the reason such meteorites are so rare.
