Krymka is a highly unequilibrated primitive ordinary chondrite (LL3.2). It experienced only mild metamorphic effects and thus retains some important primary features. Shock stage is S3 as recorded in several shock-melted zones. It is poor in both metallic and oxidized Fe, contains presolar nanodiamonds and rare carbonaceous material called mysterite. Chondrules and chondrule fragments are sitting *bumper to bumper* in my 6.8 gram slice from Sergey Vasiliev (purchased on Aug 26, 2003).
