Hello listmembers

 From a donated collection I unpacked an unlabelled slice of an
ordinary chondrite, with a very high quality polish. The meteorite is
crusted with an up to 5 mm thick rind of sand grains, well rounded
quartz mostly, cemented by oxides released from the meteorite. I
assume that the slice was acquired more than 15 years ago, material
looks as H4-5, W3. Does this sound familiar to anyone?

Thanky for any hints

Beda Hofmann
