Awesome specimen. This reminds me of an Allende I had a few years ago that had two distinct lithologies separated by a melt vein.

Dear List, I`m sorry for posting something meteorite related here on the list.;-) Please let me show you two pictures of a really amazing new find from the Sahara, a small single stone with a nice orientation and a fresh black crust (very light-weight stone). I had to think for a while whether I should cut this beautiful piece or not. But cutting was worthwhile because the result was much surprising. The cut surface shows two lithologies, which have a very sharp border. Its definitely a chondrite, and probably a carbonaceous chondrite. Enjoy: The uncut main mass: http://www.chladnis-heirs.com/carb-ungesch.jpg The cut surface: http://www.chladnis-heirs.com/carb.jpg I really like this piece because I suppose that it could be something new.
