This is a beautiful unclassified stone with jet black fusion crust, slickensides, copious metal, and prominent brecciation. It has a polished window showing the interior of the stone. The matrix looks like a Saharan version of Peekskill. It has striking brecciation of multi-colored clasts set into a dark groundmass. It has chondrules, it has metal, and has shock veining. This is a classic example of a stony meteorite with nice heft to it. It would make an ideal educational or outreach prop. It would also serve as a fine display specimen. This piece came from an old collection and was brought out of Morocco in the late 1990's or early aughts.
If this stone was bigger, I would keep it and have it classified. I also wish I had the piece that was removed to make the window. It really is a premium-grade unclassified at a time when the market throws that word around loosely. It weighs approx. 85 grams.
