This has absolutly nothing to do with the 'collection in a slice' meteorite 
- ie NWA 904. i showed these photos to a buddy and it was just a comment he 
made so I figured I'd post the pic for y'alls viewing pleasure.

this rock has been classified as a LL3.7 but check out these zenoliths:
-white arrows point unequilibriated chondritic material that has armoured 
chondrules (unfortunatly not visable fomr this angle)
-blue arrows point to a material that is wholey diffrent from the bulk of 
the slice, it is EXTREEMLY soft (probably by a few numbers on the mohs 
scale) and similar larger inclusions in other slices look like an HED
-green arrows point to what was described as a possible cm2 inclusion fromt 
he dealer i got this stuff from - there DO apear to be faint small 
chondrules in the inclusion.
-red arrows point to my favorite feature in this stone - again another 
unequilibriated chondritic inclusion with a black background and colorfull 
chondrules. this stuff reminds me of pics of dhofar 535 that i have seen
-white arrows point to a light colored inclusion that is largely deviod of 
chondrules, although a few are visable. I'd say that the stuff is a x6 
chonderitic inclusion
