[Ted Brattstrom]

For sale/bid  – a historic Allende individual. 
 
This special meteorite was collected by Dr. Elbert A. King Jr., former curator of NASA’s Lunar Receiving Laboratory. ‘Bert” traveled to Mexico in 1969 and was the first scientist to collect Allende. This specimen was kept as a particularly cherished piece in his personal collection.  This individual is now for sale by his eldest daughter, Dr. Lisa King. This roughly fist-sized stone is a mostly crusted 967g individual and can be seen at:
