Awesome 705.7 gram Odessa, Texas, Iron Meteorite

This 705 gram boot-shaped iron meteorite from Odessa, Texas is an end-cut slice. The uncut side shows wonderful regmaglypts ('thumbprints') and the cut side has been polished and etched to show the beautiful crystals called 'Widmanstatten Patterns'.

It is approximately 4.25 inches long and 2.25 inches high.
