The righthand photo shows a large silicate nodule, with pyroxene crystals on the right side, and note the regmaglypt in the center left section of the photo, where you can see fresh black fusion crust on the silicate section, just like you would see on an achondrite, the crust is much more glossy than it would be on a normal chondrite.

Here you can see in the left photo, a large area comprised of green pyroxene crystals. The photo on the right shows a large area of grey silicate and large green crystals.

The photo on the left shows one side of the specimen, note the large white areas, these are all silicate sections. The left picture shows a large area of green crystals, silicates, and metal sections.

Here are two photos of the cut surface of this meteorite. You can clearly see the large angular crystals, some of them shaped like elongated rice grains. Most of them are green, likely pyroxene crystals. Note the large green crystal on the left photo! This is 4 mm long. The photo on the right shows the incredible etch pattern that reminds me of Steinbach.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ThThis is a 490 gram complete slice. The coarse octahedrite pattern is beautiful, especially the boundaries around the silicate sections. Note the large green crystal in the top-center, simply unique!

Specimen weight: ~26,500 grams

This meteorite was found in August, 2006 in

Patagonia, Argentina by Agate hunters.

These photos are from the main mass cut face, the square crystal on the left measures 12 mm by 10 mm! It is a single complete crystal, that looks like one you would see in a pallasite. Note that almost all of the crystals in that section are rectangular. The photo on the right is a large olivine cluster with a Chromium Diopside in it.

These photos are from the main mass cut face, the long crystal on the left measures 40 mm! The photo on the right shows a mass of olivine crystals and Chromium Diopside crystals.

TThis photo is of a slice, note the two unbelievable long crystals! They measure 13 and 15 mm long. I have never seen crystals like this in any meteorite.

This is  the main mass of the meteorite. It weighs 8,921 grams. The face measures 180 mm wide by 150 mm high. It is a breathtaking display specimen full of olivine and Chromium Diopside crystals.
