Geoff writes:
Laguna Manantiales is so very rarely offered on the collectors' market that I snapped up this elegant part slice the moment I saw it. It shows a rich, luminous etch, and this actual piece was used during filming of the Meteorite Men S3 episode "Dronino" and can clearly be seen on Dr. Garvie's desk. A rare meteorite with nice MM provenance.
