4836 gram nose cone.   Chondrite



Edwin writes:
This video shows its true beauty.


Stunning unclassified oriented chondrite. It weighs 4836 grams. There are no cut surfaces. several surfaces broke in flight along lamellate planes creating partially healed flat surfaces that are either displaying secondary fusion crust or desert weathering. The regmaglypts and flow lines are mind blowing with strange inclusions in the matrix. Obviously tortured by entry through Earth's atmosphere and a long duration of weathering on the surface of our planet, this specimen still screams, "I am gorgeous!" to the eyes and mind of the collector in all of us.
