> Hello Everybody,
>
> Speaking of main masses, an interesting stone I just received.  Sadly, the
> stone was mutilated by the finder.
>
> The Essex, California 3,262g main mass
>
> http://www.meteoritearticles.com/colessex.html
>
> The meteorite originally weighed 4,998 grams, which for some strange
reason
> was originally in the Meteoritical Bulletin before press....then it
changed
> to 5,000 grams.
>
> This was a very beautiful meteorite that the finder really destroyed.
> Breaking one end and cutting up the other end.  Fine thumbprints on two
> sides of 3 or 3 1/2 sides, one side is smooth with a little lipping.
> Looking over the stone it appears it might have been oriented.  I have
only
> 2/3's of the stone. I had made an offer for it when it was whole but was
not
> able to secure the stone until recently.
