José writes:
An L6 ordinary chondrite, recovered in Sahara past May, and fresh, suggesting it recently fall. We can see the contraction cracks, and in the cut the thick fusion crust, and internal texture. This piece is an NWA non classified.

I agree with Graham, this has to be a weathered find.

Nice stone but I would say it is too weathered to be a recent fall....just well preserved.
