Does anyone have an idea why or how this pristine
meteorite got it's beautiful black fusion crust?


Hummm  just a SWAG here but ...atmospheric transit at
36,000kps±, raising surface temps to an excess of
1400°C± followed by rapid quenching of the remaining
surface to below 600°C?  Maybe I am delving too far
into fantasy.

My second guess would be a meteorite gnome?
