[meteorite-list] photo link - a cosmic marble

[Stefan Ralew]

Hello Mike, Bernd and List,

as Bernd already has written, this possible macrochondrule has approx. 13 to
14 mm in diameter. This strange looking macrochondrule is not the only
unusual feature in this meteorite. Below I have links to some more photos.

I have never seen so a lot of different chondrules in a single meteorite,
any sizes and colors of chondrules from 1 to 15 mm. Some areas look somehow
carbonaceous. It`s a crazy piece, and the right material for spending some
hours on the microscope.:-)

Best wishes,
Stefan
