A patch of dull black fusion crust appears only on one surface. The rest of this achondrite is medium-gray in color. Several types of clasts are visible on the exterior with the largest one being ~0.7 cm in its longest dimension. The interior revealed through chipping is lighter gray in color than the exterior and contains many clasts. This achondrite looks similar to other eucrites already processed from 1979, 1978 and 1977 collection.
