Meteorite: Jiddat al Harrasis (JaH) 055
Classification: L4/5 S2 W3
Feature: Barred Chondrule
Found in the Dhofar Desert of Oman in 2004.  Over 200 Kg has been collected.
 
I took the magnification level to just over 2000X (not bad for reflected light!) to get these micrographs of a barred chondrule.  I was really having fun on this one!
