Roman,

I searched out a couple meteorites for representative R and EH for
comparison. Take a look...these are on Eric Olsen's site.

R 2+g slice http://www.star-bits.com/listphotos/nwa753wt4-74a.JPG
EH 1.5 g slice http://www.star-bits.com/listphotos/EH3wt1-89a.JPG

It doesnt clear it up, but the difference is that the EH would be attracted
to a magnet and the R would be practically be dead to it.
