Renazzo is a carbonaceous chondrite, the progenitor of an entire family indicated with the acronym CR (Renazzo-type chondrite). The largest fragment has a blackish fusion crust. Inside the cosmic body there are also white and orange chondrules, pre-solar grains and in minimal quantities there are also CAIs, all trapped in a blackish colored amalgam with reddish and dark brown reflections.
