Really beautiful Stephan! We can even see through the fusion crust that
there must be two different structures, which of course is clearly shown on
the cut section. The darker side looks like a CV3, but the fair grey one ? I
wonder... Anyway, a great find!

Subject: [meteorite-list] OT: New meteorite find
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:

I really like this piece because I suppose that it could be something new.
Best wishes,
