An impressive 683g unclassified meteorite from Morocco, Northwest Africa, with substantial weight, a broad sculptural form and a strongly weathered natural exterior.
The specimen displays deep brown to near-black coloration across much of its surface, with contrasting reddish-brown weathering and oxidation. Its exterior ranges from relatively smooth, gently rounded surfaces to a dramatically rougher section with pronounced depressions and irregular texture. Natural fractures extend across several faces, adding considerable character to the specimen.
At over half a kilogram, this is a substantial meteorite with excellent physical presence, particularly suited to display as a centrepiece within a meteorite, geological or natural history collection.
