Thanks Bernd for the kind words. For those who have not seen this rare
beauty, here is an image of it that Bernd saw....

Note this IS the only H/L 3-4 and as you can see it does look like a low
grade LL3. But the chemistry showed it to be a transitional chondrite.
 Perhaps some researcher will figure out which sub group of the type-3
chondrites it belongs to.

I will post some pieces to the list once I have the slices prepared. It
will be quite affordable so you can fill a new "hole" in your collection.
Take care,
