It almost looks burnt - carbonized.

Great example of a Huckitta, weirdly beautiful, and it is a large endcut, so you can really see everything.

Amazing specimen. And yes, "pretty" would not be a word I would use to describe it, but great all the same.

Awesome specimen Paul...one thing good about a Pallasite in this state/condition is that it is stable and shouldn't rust anymore. :/

I agree with Matthias. Beautiful, big piece with olivines still visible even though this meteorite is severely weathered.

Beautiful big piece, Paul, with its brownish-black contrast.
