Perhaps the most beautiful of all meteorites and a fall too! My small 7.7-gram slice is a jewel in my collection. Your huge piece is breathtaking. Thanks for sharing.

Like Andi I've never seen a Gujba with a natural surface before. Beautiful!

What a rare beauty. The spectacular internal iron blobs easily to be identified at the surface - the "Dr. Jekyll-and-Mr.Hyde" aspect. But who is who? Thanks for sharing, Paul, and yes: Happy Birthday, MPOD! *Note to myself: don't miss to fill the queue from time to time*
