72.11 gram individual.

Gary explained this piece as follows:
This stone was discovered in a large lot of OC acquired from a Moroccan dealer at the Tucson Gem and Mineral show in early February. Several desert varnished chondrites featured shock veining visible on the surface of the stone. This particular 72.11g individual sports a unique oblong oval shock melt vein.
