209 grams.   H3-6

TKW 175 kg. Observed fall, August 4 or 5, 1998, in the western Sahara.


Jean-Michel writes:
Zag is a breccia which includes parts of type 3 (blue) and type 6 (white). The white part is most extraordinary because it contains crystals of salt (sodium chloride or halites), indicating that it contained water during its formation. It is the oldest salt crystals ever found.

It should be the other way around. Blue halite was found in the darker H3 regions.
