John writes:
This low-iron, low-metal (LL) chemical group of ordinary chondrite contains a beautiful assortment of closely packed and colorful chondrules of various types, sizes and shapes. This has been classified as a completely pristine unequiibrated chondrite with a petrologic designation of 3.05. This is a rare category and means that all components (chondrules, matrix, inclusions) have nearly the same composition and mineralogy as when they accreted to the parent asteroid, This remarkable classification is shared with only seven other official meteorites.
