Hello all, This morning I finally got to look at a new fragment of a meteorite that Dean Bessey sold as an un-cut, unclassified meteorite that is probably an LL. He sold about 5 small pieces an I bought one of them for about $5/g. The material was from a new supplier, making it somewhat unique in Dean's eyes.
The fragment has a nice black "melted" crust, not unlike many HED meteorites. There is a pull with a strong magnet similar to an LL. Not weak, but not strong like an L. There are no signs of chondrules on the slightly brown-weathered broken faces. Looks like a fair amount of orthopyroxene sticking through. To me it is a nice Diogenite, but I have yet to cut it. I was wondering if anyone else who bought a piece has studied it enough to come to a conclusion? Has anyone cut it yet either ? Curious, but not ready to cut.
