I would agree on L-type appearance based on chondrule sizes, etc. Though it always makes it easier to predict a type when we know/can see how much visual metal there is too. Not a given but can be helpful.

It looks like a L3/L4 to me . Beautiful specimen but not much for info in the Metbul .

Me again :-) This could well be the main mass or at least the second largest mass of this early NWA! Congrats, Twink!

Photos nos. 1 and 3 confirm what I have observed in my NWA 063 thin section: The chondrules are surprisingly large for an H-chondrite. Thanks for sharing, Twink!

Interesting stone from the early NWA times. Quite fresh looking fusion crust on it with a net of contraction cracks. The glossy crust, the density of chondrules (one of them obviously popped through the crust) - I must confess that the H4 classification surprises me. Thanks for sharing, Twink.
