Bernd writes:
Plaster cast of Adamana, a.k.a. as Bob Haag's Venus Stone. Bob Haag writes in "The Robert Haag Collection of Meteorites, Private Collection Edition":
"Cover: Adamana, Arizona. 1.78 kilos. Ordinary chondrite. This amazing stone meteorite is a perfectly aerodynamic "nose cone" shape that obviously remained stable during its passage through Earth's atmosphere.

It was found so close to the Holbrook fall, and has the same petrologic classification... just adds to the mystery!
