Possibly an impact melt although I would have to cut it to find out and I don't want to.

Acquired from Valeriy Bogdanovskiy, who takes better photographs than I (e.g., see the MPOD for 13 June 2014).

 6/3/2015 8:13:07 AM		 Chelyabinsk impact melt formed in space when the parent body was smacked by another object. The Chelyabinsk that was recovered on planet Earth was mostly ordinary chondrite but a significant percentage was impact melt. It looks a lot like slag inside - there is absolutely no structure to it.
