Hello, I have prepared this sample. Originally it was a normal rusted Nantan. The sample staied in elctrolitic bath for more than 2 weeks and after was sandblasted for showing the graphite and troilite inclusions on the surface.

I assure you that a nantan is unfortunately wrong. there are no classical inclusions of the dronino

Luca... I just took a look at the examples of Dronino on this site and I think you might agree that your piece of likely a piece of that find. Let the folks on this site help you. Bernd would not say a word if he didn't have doubts about what it is.

perhaps you prefer the usual rust blocks ...

it is only a Nantan if it were a Dronino would miss the round inclusions ... I don't understand why a rusted meteorite makes you so strange!

I agree with Bernd and John. It looks like it has been scrubbed to death.

agreed Bernd... to me it looks more likely a cleaned piece of Dronino

Strange-looking Nantan! Was it reheated or hammered in a blacksmith shop? Anyway, thanks for sharing, Luca!
