This is a complete individual in as found conditions. Weight 16.800 kg.
In the Wadi Mellene strewn field few non broken big meteorites individuals were found. And many broken ones. Caillou Noir has chosen to put on the market the best visual aspect meteorites from this field. This meteorite is by far the biggest intact individual of the strewn field.

This specimen is particularly interesting for a collector. Nevertheless it is complete individual i.e. without any mising fragment from the last flying rock after the main rocky bolide broke into smaller pieces in the upper layers of the atmosphere, it also shows on a nice and single face: black fusion crust, desert varnish and sun burnt sand blasted matrix Photo,below.
