My first 2 specimens were a 16g Gibeon etched slice, and a 383g Toluca
individual.
I acquired these two from the Calgary Coin & Antique Gallery, in 1998. Still
love
them, and are probably the only 2 meteorites I paid CND dollars for. I'm not
an
addict, but have over 300 localities in my collection, maybe I do get the
shakes
once in a while. See my collection on the link below if you want.
