This elongated pebble is covered with black fusion crust and at first inspection is inconspicuous. The interior however, is crystalline with what appears to be coarse-grained silicate minerals, some green, some yellow--all of these stained by oxidation. The string-like texture of the metal gives this specimen an unusual look.
