very nice meteorite, I'm not sure if I would agree with it being a breccia though. Picture 6 reveals that the place where you think it is different is within a dimple and may have been exposed to a difference in heating. Purely speculation on my part. It's a great stone, unfortunately, perhaps the only way to know would be to cut it. |

the basaltic makeup in pic #7 looks like a Eucrite to me, and the glass I see is in pic #10 |

Thanks, everyone, for the kind comments. Yeah, it's definitely among my favorites to display. And I forgot to mention in the writeup that a magnet does not stick to it. Sometimes I have my meteorites CAT-scanned, but with no metal, this one likely wouldn't be that interesting, so it probably won't get done. |

Beauty,Fantastic fusion crust, a real keeper
My first impression it is an Impact Melt L6 or L7 ! |

photo 7 is very interesting. Maybe you have a unique breccia, whether it is monomict or polymict, it is hard to say. The melt, obvious in the later photos, looks like it has a nice black glass coating on it. |

Not to cut this beauty - good decision! |

Wonderful!!! :D |

Whow, a nicely shaped eucrite! Surely an eye catcher within a good collection due to its black-black leather-like crust. |

That's fantastic - would love that on my desk! |

Thumbprinted, probably eucritic beauty! Thanks for sharing with the community, Steve! |
