| Tagish Lake
(C2-Ungrouped) || fell 1.18.2000, British Columbia, Canada, ~10 kilograms total weight || |
These are small, affordable specimens of a very rare and scientifically important meteorite!
Various milligram sized pieces, priced at $2/mg |
| Viedma (syn. Balneario el Condor) (L6 chondrite) || probably fell 11.5.1998, found 2.12.2000 || |
 A single, completely fusion crusted stone weighing 6900 grams was found by a gold prospector on Balneario el Condor beach. The finder supplied information from local newspapers of a large fireball glowing green and blue, seen traveling from W-E over central Argentina that detonated over Viedma, Argentina on Nov. 5, 1998. The find location is at the terminus suggested in the newspaper. Due to the very minor weathering of the stone, it is possible the meteorite is from the Nov. 5, 1998 event.
