    History
    : In December 2009, a single dark redish-brown metallic stone was found in the Zamzem valley of Libya by brothers Mohammed and Abbas Alazhari and used as a hammer for several years before Abbas recognized it as a meteorite. In 2016, a small piece of the stone was sent to
    ROM
    for preliminary analysis, and later that year the remainder of the stone was sent to Dustin Dickens who submitted it for official classification at
    UWO
