Hoba meteorite. The Hoba (/ËhoÊbÉ/ or HOH-bÉ) or Hoba West meteorite lies on the farm Hoba West, not far from Grootfontein, in the Otjozondjupa Region of Namibia. It has been uncovered but, because of its large mass, has never been moved from where it fell. The main mass is estimated at more than 60 tons, making it the largest known meteorite (as a single piece) and larger than the 37-ton fragment of the Campo del Cielo. It is the most massive naturally occurring piece of iron known on Earth's surface.
