Oddly enough I recently did this with a friable NWA.

Approximately 100 grams was pulverized, separated, softened with 99% IPA,
dried, and combed over painstakingly with a small paintbrush. Small chunks
of matrix are hard to tell apart from the chondrules given the business of
all the debris..eyes tend to go blind after a short time.

Each chondrule was isolated then further cleaned of matrix, in all about
eight hours work getting these puppies cleaned.
