Hello again everyone. I have been
very busy in the last month,
several trips to South America, Brazil and Colombia. I am announcing here a new iron called Uruacu. Pronounces ooohroooasuu. It is a course octahedrite (IAB) cohenite-schreibersite rich. This is a very beautiful meteorite, VERY difficult to cut. It is costing a small fortune to cut and polish due to it's hardness and inclusions. Uruacu was found in Goais Brazil in 1992. This piece was found by gold prospectors in 2000. Of the four masses found, Wilton Carvalho bought two, and the National Musuem of Brazil in Rio de Janiero bought two. This is one of Wilton's. I went to Brazil to get this piece and bring it back for cutting. My website price is $2.50 gram, but for list members price is $2.00 gram. Only full slices available at this time.
