It Looks like an LL3 to me . I have seen a number of this type. I have about 500gs maybe more that are very similar including an inclusion that looks like a Eucrite . I think that is what you have with yours . It has a great look !!! |

Jesper, chondrule size gradually increases from H to L and to LL. The size you mention and the sparse FeNi may make it an LL chondrite! |

Thanks Bernd. Most chondrules are *1-2 mm but some are 4-6 mm. I thought of L3 because of the sparse metal and abundant nice round chondrules, but I am no expert. |

Hello Jesper, no, the white area doesn't really look like a typical CAI. Not sure, maybe it's plagioclase. By the way, what's the average chondrule size? L-chondrites usually have a larger chondrule diameter than H-chondrites. |

Thanks Stephen,
I am a relatively new member of IMCA, so all comments on this stone are very welcome.
I sliced it a few days ago. Could it be a L3 chondrite?
The light area don*t really look like a CAI * do it? |

The other thing that is really interesting is that baby seems to be loaded with vesicles. |

Wow what a outstanding chondrite!!! I would love to find out what that inclusion is made up of!!! It's really beautiful what ever it may be. Thank you for sharing this awesome alien!! |
