Hello All,

Mike is probably right! Just take a look at the "fusion crust"
where the middle finger of the person holding that thing can
be seen. It looks more like a coating than like meteoritic crust.
Right underneath it is pure white and totally unaffected by
atmospheric passage.

Best wishes,

Bernd
