Hi Phil and List,

Interesting stone. It looks slightly familiar to me - I cut a smaller
stone that had a similar matrix.

BTW - I apologize for not answering your last email - things have been
super-hectic around the house lately and I have fallen behind on my
emails.

It's a little hard to tell because of the lighting, but is the
predominate color of your matrix reddish and do many of the chondrules
have a bluish coloration to them? And, do you see any brassy-colored
troilite mixed in with the usual metal flecks?

It reminds me of the specimen in the links below. Except my smaller
stone didn't appear to be porous.
