Hi Tett and list
 
A gabro is a collection of individual rocks (they don't have to be the same kind of rock either) welded or held together by some cemmenting substance. Here on earth, the cemment can be cristobalite, opal, limestone, stiltstone, and many other items. A cemment with rock in it is a manmade gabro. So, gabroic infers that it is like a gabro.

What the heck does Gabbroic mean?
 
Took a look at the images on your web page.  Sure is one cool looking meteorite

I have finally got a classification that I have been waiting two years for. It is NWA 1925, a new Gabbroic Cumulate Eucrite. This sucker is the strangest meteorite I have seen, we did not know what to think when we cut it. Likewise the scientists have been having a fit with it. It is unlike any known eucrite, large crystals up to 8mm of Plagioclase and Pyroxenes.
Read the data for yourselves. I have a little for sale, and that is it.
Grab it now, Ted Bunch said that it is one of the most interesting meteorites that he has ever seen.
It is listed on my website.
I also hope to get the India webpage up later tonight.
