Hey everyone, today March 5, 1960one of the greatest
chondrite meteorite showers ever occurred in Burkina
Faso, the Gao meteorite fell. Tens if not hundreds of
thousands of stones fell, and many kilos of stones are
still being found there today.

Gao is a fantastic and very affordable meteorite, with
impact-melt specimens and many pieces being oriented.
