Hey Darren,
Some of those white areas are located in the middle of the slice.
Those on the edge would be susciptable to terrestrial weathering but unless
the middle had been exposed to the same conditions you'll maybe have to look
for another cause.

Subject: [meteorite-list] Odd meteorite
Just finished re-sanding this odd-looking NWA. A 178 gram half-stone with
highly weathered exterior but filled with clean metal. Seems to be a
breccia
with angular fragments and possible melt pockets. Could the white areas
be
terrestrial weathering?
