Michael writes:
This meteorite has a very dark matrix with lighter colored chondrules that makes it very easy to show people what consists of a chondritic matrix. This meteorite was found in 2018 in the country of Niger. The total found mass is 35.3kg, and is classified as a carbonaceous chondrite, class CV3. The fractures in this specimen make it quite fragile, but very beautiful.
