Timur writes:
A beautiful individual oriented meteorite found by Ilya Kryachko near Calama City, on the edge of a large limestone plateau. This meteorite has a surprisingly thick fusion crust on the back and front side of the oriented meteorite. Skeletal crystals of rapid crystallization are observed in the fusion crust.
