Large Gao-Guenie meteorite for sale

Here’s a big one I added to my store today – a 257 gram Gao-Guenie meteorite.  This meteorite from Burkina Faso (formerlly Upper Volta) was a witnessed fall on March 5th, 1960. Originally, “Gao” and “Guenie” were considered two separate meteorite falls. This confusion continued for many years, until research in the 1990’s confirmed that Gao/Guenie meteorites were in fact from a single fall. This piece is a large, impressive fragment with good fusion crust. Check out the photos below.
