The largest meteorite found in the state is the Guffey meteorite, named because it’s believed to have been discovered near the small mountain hamlet of Guffey. The 682-pound nickel-iron mass was found in 1907 by two cowboys and sold to the American Museum of Natural History in New York, where it remains on display. However, a small piece was sliced off for display in the Denver Museum of Nature and Science.
