Congratulations on your most recent find - Hopper must be bringing you luck=
. In my experience you have to see the interior of the stone to determine =
if it is indeed fresh. I have found a few stones on lakebeds with a fresh l=
ooking fusion crust=2C but the interior has rust stains and is oxidized=3B =
one turned out to be W3 in classification. That said=2C it could be fresh a=
nd from a recent fall. You have more experience than me=2C so you should kn=
ow better than me. Looks like you may have to get it classified.

BTW - on your other unique (possible achondrite) find in Arizona: does ther=
e appear to be oxidation (rust stains) in the interior. I did not see any.=
  Perhaps it is from the picture.

Good luck=2C
