S3 / W1

A beautiful L3 meteorite slice with a light-grayish matrix full of chondrules of various sizes and colors, flecks of meteoric metal (iron-nickel), and a number of interesting inclusions. The inclusions bear little resemblance to the host rock in visual appearance and petrologically, and were likely introduced through other asteroidal impact.
