The fresh matrix is very porous and friable ... a lot of chondrules in 3D-view

The 78-gram full slice will soon be in my meteorite collection :-)

David is right! This is a very spectacular oddball of a chondrite with its
chondrules literally popping out - the only meteorites I know of that show
a similar feature are Bjurb?le (L/LL4) and NWA 2380 (LL5) but David's
NWA 6412 (H5/6) carries this to extremes! Looking forward to welcoming
this chondrite in my collection!

Cheers,

Bernd
