Chondrite Meteorites:
Chondrites are primordial matter that has remained nearly unchanged for the last 4.5 billion years.
Small particles condensed and crystallized from the hot primordial solar nebula to form small spheres
called chondrules. You can see many of these chondrules in the specimens that have been cut and polished.
