NWA 8156, IVA

This is a pretty one that escaped being diced by a dealer; it’s fairly fresh, oriented, and has a fine pattern.  The window made for the type specimen also shows a well-defined recrystallized rim from atmospheric entry.  This is only the third IVA iron found in Northwest Africa!  Here’s the Meteoritical Bulletin write-up:
