Thanks Bernd,
yep this chondrite is one of the best type 3 I bough in Morocco. 
Unfortunatelly most of fragments are ugly, melted, dark-brown with low 
ammount of chondruls.

What is interesting here is that this chondruls was plastic? so they deform 
their surface one to each other. Chondruls are big and most of them have 
similar size 1.5-2mm. But I have also other slices (Will post few photos 
tomorrow)  that consist also only from chondruls but they are 0.5-1mm. This 
looks identical to slices from my page, the only difference is that 
chondruls are much much smaller.

I still have many fragments uncut so maybe I will find specimen with all 3 
types of matrix.

Good night.
