Hi Gang, Is it just me, or does the meteorite the miner is holding look more weathered or desert-varnished than a fresh fall should be? The "crust" looks light-medium brown and somewhat glossy. It looks the way one would expect a lightly-weathered and moderately wind-polished specimen from NWA to look. This look more like a hot desert find that has been laying around for a while. The crust is not blackened and doesn't appear fresh. Perhaps the lighting conditions, flash, or camera settings?
Just my two cents from the armchair peanut gallery.
