The first photo is the initial 240 grit polish: http://www.meteoritesaustralia.com/images/NWA XXX (Chondrules) 1.jpg The other two are polished to 600 grit. http://www.meteoritesaustralia.com/images/NWA XXX (Chondrules) 2.jpg http://www.meteoritesaustralia.com/images/NWA XXX (Chondrules) 3.jpg Originally before preparation I was thinking a possible LL3 but there = looks to be too much metal. In fact I have even noticed a few fully = armoured chondrules. Sorry, the metal is not easy to see in the images. = There are also a couple of darker areas where the chondrules thin-out = and all but disappear. Not melted; just not really there. Unusual. If = anyone has any opinions I'd sure appreciate hearing them.
