Specifications: 24.8Grams Dimensions: 35mm x 30mm

This specimen is 100% crusted in a thick black glossy calcium-rich crust with exotic and abundant flowlines. The fusion crust on this beauty gives the impression it is literally molten and cascading down the sides of the specimen and there is an all-round roll-over lip on the base or trailing face of the stone. 

The Millbillillie meteorite fall in the Wiluna district of Western Australia was witnessed in the form of a fireball and shower of sparks by station workers on the plains of Millbillillie and Jundee Stations in October 1960. Contrary to popular reports, a number of specimens were collected in the early 1960s but an extensive search was not initiated until some ten years later. Millbillillie is popular amongst collectors both as a representative eucrite fall and for its beauty – specimens often exhibit a well preserved glossy black fusion crust with flow-lines, crust accumulation areas and superb orientation.
