Bernd writes:
Cut, unpolished, oblong slice with a mottled bluish gray appearance and abundant large FeNi specks. One very large FeNi speck measures 5 x 5 x 3 mm and is surrounded by a dark halo with three tiny matrix islands inside. There are delicate melt veinlets and abundant chondrules visible under the microscope at 8x.

This 22 gr slice is a gift from our late Jim Kriegh.

We enjoyed meeting everyone in the the meteorite world.
