This is a vintage fragment of Canyon Diablo meteorite oxide, which is a highly oxidized form iron meteorites. This specimen is a vintage fragment that is mounted to a paper backing and sold as a souvenir from the Meteor Crater National Landmark in northern Arizona. Item likely dates from the 1960s or 1970s, but I am unable to definitively verify a more accurate date.
Paper backing measures 3 inches by 3 inches (7.5cm by 7.5cm) and I estimate the small fragment to be around 0.25g in mass (item is approximately 1.5 grams including the backer, glue, and specimen).
