I concur with Larry, and here is why: "Contrary to most other ordinary chondrites Mt. Tazerzait displays very little if any impact induced shock alteration. Its shock stage was determined to be the lowest: S1. " [From: meteorite-recon]

Thank you, glad you like it, yes it has amazing chondrules. And Happy New Year to almost all (Yes John there are a few exceptions this year).

There are some incredible crystal structures inside Mt. Tazerzait. It's one of my favorite chondrite under the microscope.

A well-known Fall for collectors from the early days of those who started collecting in the 1990's. Very nice slice Anne. And Happy New Year to everyone...except for one or two. :/
