Simon writes:
In contrast to the barely weathered NWA XX from a week or two ago, this one seems to have had rather a harder time post-landing as it is very heavily-weathered. Flakes of iron are just about visible in the cross section, but it’s clearly very low in content. It will not hold a normal magnet to its surface, but if moved nearer to a line of them at an angle will pull them so that they point directly towards it, and will gently pull them along (provided you are not too ambitious with speed.)

Nice NWA! Very weather indeed, yet it still has a really nice exterior. Cheers!
