364 grams.   CM2

TKW ~12 kg. Observed fall 23 April 2019, Aguas Zarcas, Costa Rica.


Mike writes:
Flawless 364 gram flight-oriented specimen recovered only hours after the fall. It landed in a soft grass clump in the yard of a home in Cocaleca village. The stone exhibits heavy rollover lipping and an extremely bright blue iridescence on the trailing surface. This is a chemical process of outgassing not well understood. The specimen is now in Nitrogen storage at Arizona State University Center for Meteorite Studies.
