I was doing a photographic survey of iron meteorite surface features when I
found this big ball of troilite in a Sikhote-Alin. It's got a slight bronze
color. Looks like it almost ablated out. I remember someone from Europe was
selling these on eBay awhile back. It measures a little over an inch
across.
