7.3 gram end-cut, approximately 35 x 20 x 8 mm. CR2 TKW 1100 grams. Fall not observed. Found in 2021 near the town of In Zghmir, Algeria. Scott writes:Provenance: Shun-Chung Yang I love CR2’s and the best of them have both great color and visible metal content with armored (surrounded by metal) chondrules. Pic 1: Cut surface, reflection minimized, showing a variety of orange-brown and multi-color chondrules. I haven’t seen many black-armored chondrules before (upper right) and curious if others know what the black material is. Pic 2: Uncut surface, chondrules protruding Pic 3: The best part of CR2’s—shiny metal armored chondrules in reflected light Pic 4: What’s not to like—lots of interesting and armored chondrules and a smile (on the right)!
