Is composed of compacted fine dust. Olivine is zoned, with undulatory extinction and irregular fractures. Pyroxene shows exsolution. Metallic phased occupied 12vol%, and it is composed of FeNi

    Quick shipping with FedEx to the US. It was well packaged. The one I received did have a small crack and chip in the lip, but stuff like that is expected with a natural material like this. I'm happy with my purchase.
