Description from the seller
Description
Condrite meteorite (H) of excellent quality (NWA XXX) XXL size, special museum piece, unique, fusion crust intact.

This complete specimen weighs 470 grams and stands out for the following features:
Beautiful and homogeneous black fusion crust, well preserved

Numerous deep regmaglites (surface groove features with fingerprint-like appearance)
