I recently cut a small stone that came in a batch of unclassified NWA
material. Looks to be an achondrite of some sort and was wondering if
anyone had any ideas of what it might be. The white pinpoints in the
photo are tiny flecks of iron. No definitive fusion crust - a small
patch of either wind polish/desert varnish or transparent crust but
the tiny flecks of iron are certainly encouraging.

I'm the curious sort and any observations are much appreciated.

Thanks,
Phil
