4.8 grams. 47 x 31 x 2 mm.   CR2

TKW 707 grams. Fall not observed. Purchased February 2015.

Geoff writes:
With a small total known weight of 707.3 grams, Aerolite acquired six identical appearing full stones with smooth abraded fusion crust. A saw cut reveals many distinct chondrules of variable size set in a dark-gray groundmass. This rare CR2 is thought to have been heated at higher temperatures as compared to other carbonaceous chondrites (CI/CM) and formed in an aqueous environment.
