Check out this 475 gram unclasified stone.  It appears to be covered (and, I 
would assume, filled)
with large chondrules.  It had a broken, mostly flat "tip" with weathering that 
I sanded a bit, but
I don't think I managed to get through the weathered material (I don't THINK 
the matrix is that
yellow color).  This is one that I'd love to see the inside of.
