Matthias writes:
Massive form like a mountain, with clearly visible manifestations of melting processes on the surface. There seems to be consensus about the fact that except for the breathtakingly beautiful main mass (83 kg, Egyptian Geological Museum, Cairo) all Gebels seem to be shrapnels. Taking this piece into consideration, one might be tempted to think of an intermediate state between shrapnel and individual. At the backside is a round inclusion, laid open by erosion.
