Dear Jeff, Mark, & Bernd,

Thank you for addressing my free or low (or possibly stained) chondrule.

If I could please ask for one more thing... Could you point me in the direction of a reference that would also show a Fe stained chondrule?

Thanks again,
Maria

Bernd added:

Maybe it is a porphyritic pyroxene chondrule where pyroxene
crystals are surrounded by  p i n k i s h Ca-free or low-Ca
feldspathic glass as has been abundantly preserved in "PP"
(porphyritic pyroxene) chondrules in the Korra Korrabes H3
chondrite. (Reference deleted)
