Truly amazing! Thanks for sharing with us! Judging from the scale cube, I'd say: the diameter is about 16 mm thus making it a real "macrochondrule" according to J.C.Bridges and the late R. Hutchison: J.C. BRIDGES et al. (1997) A survey of clasts and large chondrules in ordinary chondrites (Meteoritics 32-3, 1997, 389): "The macrochondrules were classified on the criteria of having diameters prior to sectioning of > 5 mm and the same mineral chemistry and internal textures as normal-sized chondrules."
