Similar bulk appearance as a howardite, remarkably rich in troilite bodies giving matrix color a bronze tinge, which together with black veining and reddish-brown rusting throughout stone give unique appearance comparable best to Paragould. Tiny chondrules intact, larger are all smashed &/or deformed. Multiple stage metamorphism. Roy et al (1962). |

My database entry says it's an L6, shock stage 4. According to STOEFFLER D. et al. (1991) S4 = moderately shocked * mosaicism in olivine. |
