Spanish explorers first discovered this location in 1572. Many tons of this meteorite are known. This massive meteorite has an unusual "crescent" shape. It also contains two areas of an unusual substance, other than nickel-iron. These areas have a soft galena-like substance and are gray in color. Very showy, with no rust!
