This primitive chondrite is certainly the rarest metoerite in my collection. It is packed with chondrules and has just a sparse matrix locking this baby all together. This is a beautiful meteorite. The things I love about it are the obvious large chipped chondrule almost front and center, and the earthly cloudy blue hues of a few of the smaller chondrules in the windowed portion. It might sound crazy but I also love how the exterior is laminated in the typical pink clay silt soils of NWA hiding a diamond in the rough. It's one fine example and reasons why even smaller meteorites with limited red flags may deserve meeting the diamond blade.

I enhanced one of the photos to show off the chondrules against the matrix. I hope you all enjoy.
