Lahoma
This
is a 6.25 gram slice, with two cut and polished faces, of The LAHOMA Meteorite. This L5 Chondrite was found in Major County, Oklahoma, USA in 1963. One stone weighing 21.8 kilos was found by a farmer while plowing his field. He believed it was a meteorite and he kept the stone for 35 years. This L5 Chondrite displays shock veins and dark inclusions in an AMAZING Jade Green color. The photographs do not really show the true beauty of this L5. I have many slices and fragments of the Lahoma for sale and it is my recommendation that you look at many of the pieces for sale to get a better idea as to how beautiful this meteorite really is. The Lahoma L5, has NEVER been available to the the collector before and I have priced my specimens way below what American Chondrites have been going for... It is Beautiful, It is Priced Just Right, and the supply of slices and specimens are limited! (Most of this Meteorite is accounted for in 5 large specimens!)Lahoma
