22.1g Santa Filomena 100% fusion crusted and oriented individual.

This specimen shows various hues of blue/silver and bronze/gold in the fusion crust in certain places. It was found by my friend Guiomar while hunting outside of the town about a 15-minute walk away.

As a meteorite hunter, I am super envious!

Except for photo #7 I'd rather call it flight-marked instead of flight-oriented. But flight-marked or oriented, it is a beautiful fully crusted individual!
