Say it were possible to take a high-metal chondrite that had not undergone
much thermal or chemical alteration and dissolve all the silicates. What
would the metal look like? Would it form a network (something looking like
a micro-pallasite comes to mind) or would there be individual grains? If
individual grains, would they exhibit any general form? For example, would
they be condensation spheres?

Does this question even make any sense?

Regards,
Phil
