Thanks, Murray! I've got a lot of cool things from NEMS in the past too. Russ is a great guy and has some really rare stuff.

Awesome piece. Zagami was also my first planetary courtesy of NEMS. No crust on that one. You are a lucky man!

Hi John and Bernd. This came from an old collection and I was indeed very lucky to have been at the right place at the right time when it became available last year. I have a small quarter gram piece with fusion crust on one edge - more of a crumb actually, but two decades ago it was my first planetary acquisition - and as you can imagine, it required a microscope to see much of anything :). At least this piece shows Zagami's texture and can be appreciated with the naked eye! Now if it only had some fusion crust . . .
