60% of this Eucrite's exterior is covered with shiny vesicular black fusion crust. Some areas are pitted, showing evidence of plucking of clast material. The interior is very soft and friable. It is light gray in color with very minor amount of metal and rust. It has a sugary texture with numerous black glass veins and mafic minerals. White inclusions and transparent-colorless to yellow-orange crystalline minerals are visible.
