Dave,
In 1999 I brokered a couple of pieces of Sylacaga from the King
Collection
that did indeed come from the stone that hit Mrs. Hodges. It came from a
core
sample taken from that very stone. Somehow Dr. King talked them (the
local
library or museum) into taking a small core sample from it, maybe he
traded
them some Allende for it.
I think most of what is on the market of Sylacaga came from the King
piece,
but check the provenance. If the slices are round, or partially round on
one
edge, it is probably from that core piece.
