Thank you all! And if you want to do some research, this meteorite has quite a history, Ward must have been quite a character!

Gorgeous troilite blebs! They are almost perfectly round because the troilite cylinders were cut almost perpendicular to their long direction. The indistinct Widmanstaetten pattern is stunning!
