Richland Fredericksburg Meteorite | 6.2 Grams Part Slice | IIAB Iron | Texas | SO24
This is a rare and great looking Richland meteorite part slice weighing 6.2 grams. Its dimensions are 18x11x6 mm. This IIAB classified Iron meteorite was first found near Fredericksburg., Texas USA in 2000. Total weight of this find is set at 50.6 Kg.
A 47 kg iron meteorite was reportedly found near Fredericksburg, Texas. Chemical analysis showed that it is indistinguishable from Richland, a 13.6 kg IIAB iron that was found ~300 km away. It is likely that these meteorites are paired and that one (or both) masses were transported by humans from their original find locations. Henceforth, the name Fredericksburg shall be an unofficial synonym for Richland. The new mass may be referred to as "Richland (Fredericksburg)." A total of 213 g is on deposit at UCLA.
This rare specimen would be an amazing addition to any new or existing collection. Will come with a Canagem® specimen card plus two original meteorite labels.
