X-type asteroids are composed primarily of metal, and appear to be the remnants of large asteroids that fully separated into core and mantle.Other cool things about this article:
Interactive map of the solar system showing asteroid locations (not to scale)
Video clip about the asteroid.
And a "box" with an interview about the one with "our name on it."
It is so SF to be thinking about mining an asteroid.
