NWA 4664Diogenite (Polymict-breccia) This is one of the rarest and most beautiful Diogenites that I have ever seen. Many fragments totaling ~6 kilograms and without fusion crust were found in Algeria/Morocco in 2006. It is a very hard meteorite, glassy, with large angular fragments of a light yellow-green color. Everyone who saw this meteorite when it first came out of Africa thought that it was a new Lunar meteorite. We were all surprised when it turned out to be an HED, but not disappointed. It is a must for ANY meteorite collection, since it is so unique and beautiful. ALL of these pieces are polished to a high finish and as you can see, all exhibit the beautiful matrix. |
