Harvey Harlow Nininger had his meteorite museum on Route 66 years ago and did groundbreaking research at Meteor Crater. He cut a number of Canyon Diablo meteorites into small chunks in a search to find the shock created diamonds that some Canyon Diablo meteorites contain. He sold them at his museum and also provided chunks to the long gone Heritage Museum of San Diego County. These meteorite specimens came from there and were dicovered a year ago among the stored items of a famous meteorite dealer.

These are historic Canyon Diablo meteorite pieces that can never be replaced with additional offerings in the future. There are only the specimens shown so get them while they last.
