Excellent pics of the main mass Marcin!

=======
Thank You :D
I forgot about this photos for a "while".

2 questions:

1) is the tan-white area containing the metal islands of "eucritic" type ?

============
No
This is just perfect example of weathering. Especially full slice but also
main mass with his tiny white dot in center, showing very sharp zones of
weathering approaching from outside to inside. So oryginaly Zaklodzie was
perfect WHITE! Thats why this last full slice is soo importand becouse
contain fresh, not weathered material. In the remaining main mass ~5kg there
is propably no more of this material deep inside specimen.
Another interesting feature in full slice is top right area above iron
"core". There are several graphite globules in iron !

2) From which source do you know that the TKW of Brahin and Chinga are
respectively 823 Kg and about 200 Kg ?

=============

Chinga TKW 209.4 kg
Brahin TKW 823 kg
