I have curated a meteorite collection since 1983, when I bought specimens representing the three main classes of meteorites from Robert Haag of Arizona, aka "the meteorite man". Robert was responsible for introducing more people to the hobby of meteorite collecting then anybody before him. The collecting community was relatively small in those days. Since the introduction of the Internet, interest in and the size of the collecting community has grown by leaps and bounds.

Here is the official entry for your meteorite as it appears in The Meteoritical Bulletin:

And a brief description from Wiki....

Please note from the Met Bulletin that the classification of Chinga was changed in 2006. It is now an iron, ungrouped.....
