The Richfield LL3 chondrite is a breccia containing many large, light coloured recrystallised clasts and numerous large dark clasts set in a dark grey/black matrix - rare, chondrule free impact melt clasts have also been found in Richfield. Cut sections reveal a very "busy" matrix, with clear & distinct regions, different coloured large clasts, superb chondrules (many beautifully "armoured"), fine grained nickel-iron metal flake and an abundance of troilite inclusions!
This is a meteorite that you certainly don't see every day.
