The Nuevo Mercurio meteorite fell on the evening of December 15, 1978. After a fireball and loud detonations there was a fall of stones near the village of Nuevo Mercurio, Mexico. Over 300 stones were originally found with a total recovered weight of 5 kilograms. But many more were found in the following years. Nuevo Mercurio meteorites are Olivine-bronzite chondrite (H5) type stones. The specimens offered here have been put away for thirty years and are very nice quality most with fine fusion crust. Nuevo Mercurio is not common to see for sale now. This is a great opportunity to get a stone from this historic Mexican fall.
