Hello Everybody,
Speaking of main masses, an interesting stone I just received. Sadly, the stone was mutilated by the finder.
The Essex, California 3,262g main mass

The meteorite originally weighed 4,998 grams, which for some strange reason was originally in the Meteoritical Bulletin before press....then it changed to 5,000 grams.
This was a very beautiful meteorite that the finder really destroyed. Breaking one end and cutting up the other end. Fine thumbprints on two sides of 3 or 3 1/2 sides, one side is smooth with a little lipping. Looking over the stone it appears it might have been oriented. I have only 2/3's of the stone. I had made an offer for it when it was whole but was not able to secure the stone until recently.
