Thank you Ben, yes I like that kind of specimen, but I sold it quite a while ago. As for the crystal, it was in the Bilanga, so no, not terrestrial. I was hoping that Dr. Reynolds would come and give his opinion about it. (BTW, Paul, it is "crust" not "rust") ;-))

This one would be hard to find in the desert, simply because I look for rusty brown! Nice meteorite and crust!!

This one get's me mixed up sometimes to, a large piece Anne with a great crust on the side! Is that a small piece of rock from the impact or a crystal? Cheers
