[meteorite-list] Pasamonte stone!

[Michael Farmer]

Well, after 9 years of dealing and collecting meteorites, I have finally 
succeeded in getting a complete Pasamonte stone! I recently bought a stone 
from a collector, with British Museum label, 39 grams, Nininger #197V
British Museum # 1959-756.

Check it out and tell me what you think.
I am stoked about adding this rare little puppy to my "new" collection.

I just finished reading  the section in "Find a Falling Star", about the 
Pasamonte fall, and I am sitting here with the book, and the story written 
50 years ago, and holding one of Nininger's stones! Red it on pages 65-70.
This is what I love about meteorites, reading the history, I can almost see 
myself standing there with Nininger, asking so many people about the 
fireball, excited and anxious about tracking down the meteorite that he knew 
was close-by.
