NMM 2124 Skedsmo (Grove Knudsen) is a golden V-type (glass) featured in the Atlas of Micrometeorites, full page 43. Along with its striking colour, it has a large golden nickel-iron bead at the front, which has triggered beautiful conical olivine (forsterite) crystallisation in the glass. Additionally, a secondary nickel-iron bead has caused a sizeable pyramidal crystallisation, exemplifying the intriguing soap-bubble effect, as illustrated in the Atlas of Micrometeorites, page 281. A museum-quality micrometeorite.
