Actually, I have had some small pieces for sale for years. They are very small but large enough to be seen by the naked eye. Cost some, but about which of the rest of your collection can you say, "and this one hit that lady in the photo?"

Yes the hodges stone is safe in the museum. I think you are right, the core is from that stone. I think Robert Woolard wrote a great piece about it. I forgot that the King sale had a core.

How uncommon you might ask? There is only one confirmed person in history to have ever been hit by one. And she had the evidence to prove it.

Rob, all, The "Hammer" stone in the Alabama Museum of Natural History was the stone that was cored. (Why would the Smithsonian core their stone after already slabbing it?) Provenmire in the 2003 article "Sylacauga, Alabama Revisited" in METEORITE, vol. 9, no. 2 states this about the "Hodge's" stone: "An approximate 31 mm diameter core has been removed from the bottom of the object (34 mm deep) for internal examination and thin section analysis."
