Description

This lovely iron is a hexahedrite. It contains three round FeS nodules in an area of ~150 cm². Fragmental schreibersites 0.2 to 1 mm long are in rough arrays. There is discoloration indicating some reheating in the event that fragmented the schreibersites. In regions not discolored there are many tiny rhabdites 0.2 to 0.1 mm in length. Weathering is minor, but no reheated zone was recognized.
