Michael writes:
This meteorite has a very dark colored and dense matrix with circular and ovaloid shaped chondrules that makes it very interesting. This meteorite was found in 2015 in NorthWest Africa. The total found mass is approximately 4.43kg, and is classified as a Eucrite - Melt Breccia. This slice is amazingly heavy for a thin slice.
