Near the Willamette meteorite is one called the Canyon Diablo, famous chiefly on account of the fact that it contains diamonds. It was found in 1891, near Coon Butte, Arizona, in the neighborhood of the town of Canyon Diablo. The original size of the mass is not known, but thousands of fragments have been collected, varying in weight from a fraction of an ounce up to 1,087 pounds. More than sixteen tons of this material are said to have been found within a radius of two and a half miles of Coon Butte, a conical hill rising from 130 to 160 feet above the surrounding plain, and containing a crater-like hollow about three-quarters of a mile in diameter and probably originally 1,460 feet deep. The appearance of this region seems at first sight, to the casual visitor, far more suggestive of a terrific explosion at a remote period of the past, resulting in an upheaval causing the vast crater from which the meteoritic-looking masses scattered over the surrounding plain had been ejected, but Dr. Hovey is of the opinion that their presence has been caused by the downfall of an immense meteorite from above. According to his investigations of the scene, “there is no lava of any kind in Coon Butte or in its immediate vicinity, such as is found in volcanic regions.” He also asserts that the main part of the mass has not yet been discovered, the fragments so far found being only the portions separated from the original mass during its passage through the atmosphere and at the time of its impact with the earth. There are two fragments of the Canyon Diablo meteorite in the Foyer collection, and the largest piece discovered is the one weighing 1,087 pounds, to which reference has already been made. A slice of the meteorite, in which a diamond was found, undoubtedly attracts the greatest amount of attention from visitors to the museum. “Diamonds falling from the sky,” they have been heard to remark, “then why not make a search for the missing fragment which may be a depository of unknown wealth?” However, the possibilities are that it has buried itself to such a depth in its crash to earth, that a search for it would be a stupendous undertaking, with possibly no results as far as diamonds are concerned.
