NWA, ordinary chondrite III

At the 2019 Tucson Gem and Mineral Show, Moussa Minerals seemed to be everywhere: they had multiple tents set up at Kino Park, the Inn Suites, etc.  Every tent seemed to have the same material on hand — a few flats of Moroccan vanadinite, a few flats of cobaltoan calcite, a few flats of trilobites, etc.  And of course a few flats of weathered NWA ordinary chondrites.  I had a closer look at one of the flats of larger stones, and this knobbly surface caught my eye.

Frothy crust at the edges, and unmelted chunks of chondrite sintered to the back.  That used to be a killer oriented stone, but the front had to be broken, right?

…Wrong!

It’s just a ~40 gram ~L5, but this stone’s one of my favorites.
