[meteorite-list] Chondrule Question

[Maria Haas]

Hello List,

The following pictures are of an unclassified NWA with what I am assuming is 
a weathered armored chondrule. I have a lot of OC's with varying degrees of 
weathering and chondrules poking through the desert varnish that are not 
weathered like this one. I am wondering why this particular chondrule 
weathered to a pinkish color.

Any ideas?
