Eighty-five percent of the exterior is covered with dull brown fusion crust. This stone was difficult to break. It is unusual in that at first glance it appears to look chondritic but it is dense. The interior black metal is fine-grained. White angular inclusions as large as 2 mm are scattered throughout. Oxidation is heavy in areas.
