I agree with Steve & Bernd!
I must say that I also agree with Bernd regarding NWA 5507. It's definitely
one of my favourite Type-3 chondrites. Just spectacular!

I've been spending an enjoyable evening at the microscope ogling my
NWA 5507 slice (16.39 gr - see Encyclopedia if interested). Marcin's
NWA 5507 is an interesting L3.2 with lots of spectacular features:
- clasts (or PP chondrules?) with abundant translucent,
light-green hypersthene crystals, a greyish groundmass + numerous tiny
chromites
- finely disseminated troilite
- troilite-rimmed chondrules
- complex BO-Pyroxene chondrules
- and so much more!
Cheers,
Bernd
