huge
assumptions from one pic though so it really could be anything. Well...
almost! ;-)

Hi Richard, Bernd, and List,
Bernd is right (as usual), this is probably not an H. Sometimes the
amount of visual iron can be deceiving. I have seen some L's and LL's
with plentiful metal fleck. But it's almost surely a type-4 - not
enough chondrules for type 3 and too many for type 5 or 6. S
... maybe NWA 306, L4, S2; W2
Cheers,
Bernd

Hi Richard and List,
"Average chondrules size is about 1mm and
the largest ones are 2 to 3 times larger."
... in other words, not an H chondrite but rather an L or an LL chondrite!
Best from Germany,

Hi Bernd
I think "806" is similar but maybe a bit too orange. This stone is orange, but
a bit on the pale side.
Average chondrules size is about 1mm and the largest ones are 2 to 3 times
larger. Magnetic attraction is very similar to the half kilo NWA 869 I picked
up at Blood's auction this ye

Hmmm, ... somehow reminds me of NWA 806 (LL4) with
its grayish chondrules and its orange-colored matrix.
How strongly is it attracted to a magnet
and what's the average chond
r, this is just a guess on my limited experience.
Nice stone.

Hi Richard,
My guess is an H4, W2, S1. :)
Nice looking little stone. The cut face could use a polishing, unless
it would subdue the already sparse chondrules. But it looks like the
type that could benefit from at least a light polish.
Best regards,

I picked up a small 37.225g half cut stony from Blaine.
It looks pretty fresh to me and I have a general idea of the class it may be,
but...
I'd be interested in all of you experts taking a look and letting me know your
thoughts on its classification and suggestions on what other stones it look
