E chondrites have virtually no matrix. Most of the material between
chondrules and chondrule fragments is metal and sulfides.

I have a question regarding E-chondrites. I was told that Enstatite Chondrites have a more gray (dark) matrix than an ordinary chondrite. They also contain more metal (as a rule) than a typical H-chondrite. Now I always thought it was impossible to recognize an E-chondrite by eye. However, is it possible to recognize an E-chondrite by eye (10x lens) with the color of the matrix and amount of metal?
