Awesome specimen. This reminds me of an Allende I had a few years ago that had two distinct lithologies separated by a melt vein.
Thanks for sharing,
Matt

Dear List,

I`m sorry for posting something meteorite related here on the list.;-)

Please let me show you two pictures of a really amazing new find from the
Sahara, a small single stone with a nice orientation and a fresh black crust
(very light-weight stone). I had to think for a while whether I should cut
this beautiful piece or not. But cutting was worthwhile because the result
was much surprising. The cut surface shows two lithologies, which have a
very sharp border. Its definitely a chondrite, and probably a carbonaceous
chondrite. Enjoy:

I really like this piece because I suppose that it could be something new.

Best wishes,
Stefan
