8.69 grams.   unclassified

Andreas writes:
This is, without any doubt, one of my most beautiful sculptured meteorites, although it is only a small fragment with a weight of 8.69 g. The fragment shows distinctive spines and pits and a natural hole with a fragile rim on one side. Nickel content is very high and it has optical evidence of pallasitic features (skeleton?).

Bought in May 2013 from a Moroccan dealer. As said by the seller, it was found at the Algerian/ Moroccan border.
