Phil, Hmmm.... Yeah, but I'm still not so sure. It is close.
The gray-green or blue crackly crust is very similar but there's not
many high resolution photos of the Sahara 03500 crust. I have an
oriented piece that I think might be of the same material on my site.
Problem is it's oriented so I would have to sand a window or CUT it to
see the interior which I'm not ready to do just yet... hmmmm....
I've added photos of the oriented piece on the odd meteorite page.

Are these specimens all the same? SPECIMEN #UNWA004 ORIENTED, SPECIMEN
#UNWA001, SPECIMEN #UNWA002, SPECIMEN #UNWA003
I found more photos of the SAHARA 03500:

Hi Eric and Elton,
Sure looks an awful lot like Sahara 03500 (Tassa Mahchi) as described
and pictured here:

What were you guys thinking?
Very cool!

Yes actually but I'll let you decide when and where to announce it if we are
