Apache County, Arizona, USA || 2,180 kilograms
total weight |

 The Navajo meteorite was
called Pish le gin e gin ("black iron) by the
Native Americans in the region. These pieces
originate from the The Field Museum (Chicago) specimen
number Me2099b (in the Mile High Meteorites Collection)
that is called Navajo II in the
manuscript written about the Navajo meteorite find.
All slices will come with a copy of the Schwade
Collection label.
The cut face of each slice was left "as-is" from the
Field Museum, since polishing it may have caused each
slice to break along its crystal boundaries.
