St. Louis Meteorite
This material has been impossible to get since the fall on December 10, 1950. ASU had
a little over a gram in very small pieces. However, the rest of it was in the hands of the
person driving the car it struck.
Jim Schwade, arguably the world's largest private collector visited the now very elderly
driver in an old folks home and managed to purchase the material from him.
This material was almost entirely in the impressive collection
of Jim Schwade, I was very fortunate in obtaining a LARGE, very thin slice of this material.
