Unclassified NWA. 44.6 grams total. Dimensions of the largest piece on the left: 2.7cm x 3.1cm.

Pete says:
Has a porous, sugar-like matrix. The shock veins are a glassy dark grey material that is similar to the texture of a fulgurite I have. This fresh and fully crusted stone gave absolutely no indication of what was hiding within. As someone on the MetList had as a signature quote - "Unclassifieds really are like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re going to get until you cut into one". Moderately attracted to a neodymium magnet.

Speaking of candy it looks like chocolate with nougat or Rocky Road ice cream. Beautiful!

Lots of great detail to look at. It would be something to see it under a low-power scope. Pretty impressive. Mike in CO
