It seems to defy all logic making it one of the most interesting ones I have had the privilege to encounter. I supplied the latest scientific abstract which describes the weathering effects to some point so that is the best I can do. I am simply a middle man bringing these rarities to the collecting community by way of the nomads and through the scientists. I can truly say that, (if I had grand kids), I would have one hell of a story to tell later on in life! Happy Holidays and Happy Hunting!!!
