If anyone is interested, I've just reorganised my collection photos so that
they are sorted into their respective classifications. The chondrites are
also in raising petrological grade so you can see the differences.

Hello All,
There are a few things that separate Adamana from Holbrook in my mind...
The texture of the crust alone of Adamana versus that of Holbrook leaves me
little doubt that the two could possibly be paired.
The fusion crust of Adamana is a matte black, which contrasts sharply with
