Rare, Patagonian IIIAB Villa Regina Iron Meteorite
Here is a beautiful new iron from the Rio Negro region of Patagonia. The provisional name for this new IIIAB octahedrite is 'Villa Regina'. The TKW is only 5.03kg before cutting, (only about 3.7 kg after cutting) meaning that there is not a lot of this new iron to go around. The final elemental composition, as determined by replicate analysis at UCLA is: Cr 139 µg/g , Co 5.01 mg/g, Ni 79.3 mg/g, Cu 164 µg/g, Ga 19.3 µg/g, Ge <70 µg/g, As 4.3 µg/g, W 1.06 µg/g, Ir 4.32 µg/g, Pt 13.9 µg/g, Au 0.598 µg/g.
