Achondrites 

Achondrite meteorites are stone meteorites which do not show any chondrules. They may, however, have round clasts or other spherical crystals that have grown out of re-melted, metamorphosed material. This can cause confusion. One clue is that achondrites very rarely contain any visible metal.
