Hi Anne, what a unique piece, I never really see much from Yemen. The terrain it was found on is very odd looking.

Thank You everybody!!! I am glad you like it, and Yes, it is a rare one and I was amazed to find it among many other very rare pieces in a collection I just bought. And Yes, Peter, it would be interesting in thin-sections, but it is an odd shape fragment, .... and it is already sold. Maybe next time! ;-)

An impossibly rare specimen, and the landscape around the fall area is surreal.
