Hey Roman & all,
 
I agree in that it could be an R, but what I've come to learn is that appearance can be very deceiving. Take a look at this image which is a classified meteorite and is a little similar in appearance. Have some guesses at which meteorite and what the classification is and I'll post the answer tomorrow.
 
 
Cheers,

Roman,

What is the paramagnetic response to a strong magnet? If next to nothing then
it is a good chance of being an R (or LL)...if a little stronger then EL(or
L), if noticebly strong then EH (or H).

The feerless guesser,

John
