Details:
was walking along a rocky beach in tacoma washington and found this chondrite meteorite. it has the typical fusion crust, and is slightly magnetic. there is a small crystal inclusion visible, which means this could be very exciting to take slice samples from. i will look for more tomorrow, this area is relatively unexplored!

took it to the local community college this morning, several students and two teachers agree that this is a crystalline pallasite meteor with visible olivine schiller effect. will be going back to the beach with a locale group in attempt to find more fragments.

king tutankamen was buried with a dagger made of iron cast from heavenly meteorites. it was considered the most holy and spiritual knife of its day and revered as the unstoppable weapon of kings. he was just a young boy , and considered a great royalty worth all the treasure of 1000 human slaves. just finding a cosmic stone can endure in you the great spirit which was once sacred in ancient times by many followers of the great holy tradition....
