This is an extremely nice oriented individual. It has flight markings, roll over rim and thumbprints abound. Weight of this gorgeous specimen is 4,454 grams.
The above specimen has amazing undisturbed fusion crust, not brushed off like most. Large regmaglypts, flow lines. It's weight is a whopping 10.4 kilos! Purchased from a dealer at the 2007 Tucson Gem & Mineral Show in Tucson, Arizona, USA. Arrived here in South Carolina on February 12, 2007.

Here's a preview of the specimens acquired this year from a dealer. My goal late last year 2006 was to acquire a killer Sikhote-Alin individual to celebrate the 60 year anniversary of the fall Sikhote-Alin on February 12, 1947. My goal was exceeded when a dealer emailed me from the Tucson Gem & Mineral show. He said he found a rare 10.4 kilo SA with natural undisturbed fusion crust. I asked him to bring it home. Upon his return from the show he shipped it to me. The cool thing about this story is that I knew I was getting a monster SA but had no idea it would happen to arrive here at my home in South Carolina on the Birthday of SA, February 12, 2007.
