Answering both Steves at once. The Nuevo Mercurio that "meteorite men" Steve mention is now in my collection. But it's not 25g, it's a little under 8g. It has a hole about 2x1mm. I also remember a "tricky" holed meteorite: some D'Orbigny slices/framgments had holes made when gas bubbles were exposed on thin slices or fragments. best regards Eduardo
