Hello,
Definitely Weston. The photo is the Smithsonian's specimen. The "facts" in the
article are a bit out of wack but the basic story is correct. The stone in the
Gibb's collection was 36.5 pounds that went to the Peabody Museum. It was the
only one of the seven stones that wasn't smashed on landing or in search for
"treasure."
Still have doubts? The following link is to the Smithsonian specimen. It's
up-side-down to the newspaper photo.

Cheers,
Frank
