This micrometeorite had spin perpendicular to the direction of movement during atmospheric entry in hyperspeed.
The colour is deep brown, due to traces of iron (Fe3+), and paler towards the front metal bead. A fantastic stone, better in person than in the photo, by Jan Braly Kihle and me.

PROVENANCE: The catalogue number refers to the NMM archive, the index of Jon Larsen’s Project Stardust collection, which is the reference collection for urban micrometeorites.
