[meteorite-list] AD: Quitovac, Mexico

[Jason Phillips]

Happy New Year Everyone,

I have a new meteorite to offer to our wonderful collecting community.
Quitovac, Mexico was found by gold hunters while metal detecting, with
some of the stones being found 12 inches below the surface.  Most all
of the specimens retain a beautiful crust with some showing flight
features.  There is only one individual for sale, the endcut main
mass, two crusted fragments, and some slices.  Some of the slices show
more weathering and are a darker color matrix (as seen in picture 3),
but all show fresh metal.

Price:
Individual/Crusted Fragments: $3/gram
Endcuts: $2.50/gram
Slices: $3-$3.50/gram
Weathered fragments with no crust: $2/gram
