Physical characteristics: Many identical appearing stones. Tan colored, desert weathered exterior. Saw cuts reveal fragmental breccia of white and gray clasts set in a light gray groundmass.

The pyroxene compositions are uniformly consistent with a single cumulate eucrite lithology, indicating monomict eucrite. Pyroxenes are highly equilibrated with distinct high-Ca and low-Ca compositional separation. Minor phases observed were silica, Cr-spinel, ilmenite, and troilite. No metal was detected. Geochemistry: (A. Ross, UNM) Low Ca-pyroxene Fs50.8±1.5Wo3.5±1.7, Fe/Mn=31±1, n=7; high Ca-pyroxene Fs22.5±0.8Wo42.1±0.7, Fe/Mn=30±2, n=5; plagioclase An87±1.7.
