Clover Springs (Gila County, Arizona, USA) Mesosiderite (stony-iron) Found 1954

A single mass weighing 7.7kg was all that was ever found of this rare Arizona meteorite. When cut and polished, Clover Springs is beautiful, revealing a high amount of bright nickel-iron and myriads of very fine grained dark silicates in the matrix. Additional large angular clasts of eucritic and diogenetic material also add to the flavour!
