68.4g oriented UNWA

Rob writes:
The appearance of the crust, in combination with the stone’s interior, visible in a fresh fracture surface, indicate achondrite, probably HED.

Magnetic Susceptibility measurements by Jérôme Gattacceca of CEREGE resulted in log χ= 2.77

This puts it well in the Eucrite range
