Accompanied by loud thunder at about 1.30 pm (local time) on February 3, 1974, a single stone weighing about 480 g was seen to fall and was recovered near the Jolomba village, Huambo District, Angola. The stone is strongly brecciated, has dark-greyish angular fragments within a lighter matrix and does not exhibit any chondritic textures. Jolomba consists of olivine (Fa 31), orthopyroxene (Fs 25), sodic plagioclase (An 11), sulphides (troilite), very scarce nickel-iron (Ni up to 56 percent), oxides (chromite and ilmenite) and apatite. Pervasive fracturing of silicates suggests that Jolomba suffered strong brecciation and partial recrystallization. Mineralogy and bulk chemical analysis indicate that Jolomba belongs to the LL group of chondrites (amphoterites). Uniform olivine and pyroxene composition, well-crystallized plagioclase, and textural features in general indicate that Jolomba belongs to the petrologic type 6.
