Bernd writes:
Plaster cast of Adamana, a.k.a. as Bob Haag's Venus Stone. Bob Haag writes in "The Robert Haag Collection of Meteorites, Private Collection Edition":
"Cover: Adamana, Arizona. 1.78 kilos. Ordinary chondrite. This amazing stone meteorite is a perfectly aerodynamic "nose cone" shape that obviously remained stable during its passage through Earth's atmosphere.
