29 gram individual. Most likely from the Casa Grande, AZ, fireball of 07 June 1998.

Found February 18, 2013, by me.

My wife, Lisa, was in Apache Junction on June 7, 1998, and witnessed the fireball that is likely responsible for the Stanfield meteorites. Over the years she's asked me if I thought I might ever find a piece, and we talked about how cool it would be if I did. I didn't believe it would ever happen, but thanks to my friend Robert Ward, and his dogged determination, I was given the opportunity, and was fortunate enough to find this stone.

I'd also like to thank Galactic Analytics for their contribution.
