Double-lithology Impact Melt Breccia (IMB) slice. Reminds me of the original first season Star Trek Episode with the black-white face of Lokai (Frank Gorshin).

Nice meteorite John, I can see there are a good number of chondrules in the matrix even though the Met-bull didn't observe them! This is a sweet piece M8.

Paul and others...this is NOT NWA 3096, but NWA 2902 which was an L-Melt. Both sold by Stefan R at the same time. My apologies...I kept this slice and a slice of NWA 3096 in the same box. So much for my memory. As for the magnetic pull of the two halves...it is the same.

I can't help but wonder, how strongly is a magnet attracted to each half? Is one half stronger or weaker than the other?
