125 grams.   Iron, IIAB

TKW 23 MT. Observed fall February 12, 1947.

Andreas writes:
This is an uncleaned and nice sculptured Sikhote-Alin meteorite. The shape of this meteorite is reminiscent of Salvador Daliīs surrealistic figurines, esp. the 'surrealistic angel'. Besides itīs heavenly shape, it is almost a miracle that it displays correctly in the upright position just with a magnet stand.
