Wow - Congratulations Rubin, that is a beautiful specimen. At first I thought... a Diogenite, but with so much metal? The Olivine crystal is really nice, so I would rule out a chondrite, but you never know. It looks like a complete stone, is that right? I hope you can find more. Also, congratulations to Del and your team on the new cold find in New Mexico.
