Oxidation and overall weathering/life on earth kind of thing I would suspect makes this meteorite hard to inspect for evidence. A fresh cut face would be the best you could do in a hand sample...or obviously looking at a thin section would be ideal way to see chondrules(shape and numbers) in the H3 realm.
Someone was selling them on ebay this summer/fall I believe. "refamat" was it?
