1.2 grams.   CM2

TKW 5.2 kg. Fall observed October 13, 1838, in Cape Province, South Africa.

Found at the arrow (green or red) on this map.

This meteorite fall can't get any better when Cold Bokkeveld is the first CM meteorite fall and the first meteorite fall to come from South Africa. What a gem to have in any meteorite collection. The fragment I am showcasing on Meteorite Picture of the Day is a 1.26g fragments and looks fresh as the day it fell :)

And as already mentioned on August 21, 2013: it looks more like Murchison than C.B.

1889 for Mighei...and it is the namesake for the CM group (NOT Murchison as some might think)

Isn't Mighei the first CM fall?
