It is NWA 7916, CO3.
S2 W1

A single very nice complete stone weighing only 897 grams is all that is known.
It is very dark inside when polished to a mirror finish.

I have cut it up into slices and offer them now.?
I have the following pieces available.
All slices are complete and polished to mirror finish on one side, wire saw cut on backside allowing for easier viewing of small chondrules
and metal. Both sides of the slices look great.
