TGMS17 writes:
Seen at the 2017 Tucson Gem and Mineral Show, Hotel Tucson City Center, room 103 (Edwin Thompson, ET Meteorites).

From the MetBul:
Physical characteristics - Single stone, no fusion crust, irregular sandblasted exterior. A saw cut and polished surface reveal a breccia with multiple textural lithologies and prominent shock melt veining.

Petrography - (C. Agee, UNM) Microprobe examination of polished, saw-cut surface of deposit sample shows a breccia with multiple lithologies: Lithology A (olivine gabbro-norite), Lithology B (olivine gabbroic anorthosite), Lithology C (fragmental feldspathic breccia), Lithology D (shock melt). Fe-Ni metal, sulfide, chromite, ilmenite, and phosphate are ubiquitous accessory phases throughout this meteorite.
