Hello Marcin and List,
You were probably looking at some sulfate crystals.
Reference:
Hi there!
I think that the fine white crystals you see are sulphate efflorescences
that are on all specimens of Orgueil and are caused by terrestriallisation
ie reaction of moisture with various compounds within the matrix.
See Gounelle & Zolensky, "A terrestrial origin for sulfate veins in CI1

Howdy Folks,
I have a wonderful 3.3 gram fragment of Orgueil I may sell. It came
from an institution collection, and I have full documentation.
This nice piece of meteorite history can be yours if the price is
right.
I will entertain offers on it, but to be honest, I doubt I would let it go
