Geoff writes:
This fine piece clearly exhibits the burning fury as it hurtled through our atmosphere; while it was super heated and melted, these multiple delicate flow lines were produced. Also showcased are very marvelous surface features and 100% complete rollover lip on the underside. A truly striking highly oriented individual.
