The thin brown black fusion crust on the exterior is mostly weathered away. Rusty splotches, polygonal fractures and white specks are visible on the surface (evaporites?). The interior is a medium gray matrix with a lot of rust and metal. Very hard and weathered chondrules generally dark gray and mm in size.
