A striking unclassified meteorite from Morocco, Northwest Africa, distinguished by its exceptionally rugged and heavily sculpted natural surface.
This specimen has a dramatic irregular form with numerous deep depressions, cavities, ridges and angular projections across its exterior. Dark brown to near-black areas contrast with reddish-brown weathering, producing a highly textured appearance. Several faces display particularly pronounced pitting and recesses, giving the specimen an impressive, almost volcanic-looking character.
Its substantial three-dimensional form and unusual surface topography make this an especially attractive display meteorite, with a different appearance from virtually every viewing angle.
