I had never seen the 'exterior' of Gujba -- always thin edges of slices. What a fascinating appearance! This dramatically changes the way I think about my little piece. Worth way more than a thousand words!

First one I've seen that seems to show some flow through the matrix....wonderful!....perhaps hints at the formation mechanism of this enigmatic meteorite....one of the best.
