Hi all,
I agree......these LL's, L's and L/LL's have some beautiful chondrules,
especially Ireland's Bovedy.
For those interested, here's a few pictures of the cut & polished faces:

Ragland - http://fernlea.tripod.com/ragland1.jpg

In recent weeks, one of the nicest "new" pieces I've seen is a carbonaceous
chondrite going under the working name of Tagounite 084. It was first
classified as a CV3, but the analysis didn't quite gel for CV....it's
extremely magnesian with Fa <1.
I had it re-classified a few weeks ago and the results came back saying that
it's actually a CR3. Technically it's the first CR3 discovered (found 1999),
but the re-classification means that it wasn't recognised as such until 2002.
In the best interests of caution, it'll be printed as C3 with an NWA number
later this year.

Yes, I do still have some........but you can't have any ;-)

Cheers,
