I have found this rock in februari and had the opertunity to let it be tested by my local university. And just got a message that the matrix is mostly augite with a white mineral intermixt. It turnes out that they could not find a match for the white spherules/minerals in their database of known minerals. The are going to do more tests like X-ray single crystal diffractometry and posible disolving the mineral to get better results.
