LL4 S2 W1.
In one of its sides there’s a half bubble. For me it is a mystery if it is a deep regmalypt or a real bubble. Some people says it’s too deep and isolated to be a deep regmalypt, but if you look at the same place on the other side there is a white inclusion which looks softer than its surroundings. If it's a bubble, imagine what tresure it held for millions of years, until it fell to Earth. That’s why I prefer to explain both theories and keep the mystery on.
You can see a 3D model scan of the bubble at http://youtu.be/G7H7yfpmoP4. The slice shows a mix of lithologies that has been a bit tricky to photograph due to different matrix colors, from white to black.
