a.k.a.: "the Incomparable new Olivine Diogenite" is *extremely* d i f f i c u l t to photograph and none of the pictures reveals its true crystalline beauty! It took me several attempts with illumination from different sides and varying exposure times before I could "catch" one (!) shot that does this diogenite a little justice! Try to imagine that those pale-brown areas are the orthopyroxene-rich zones and "in person" they are a shining green like the hypersthene crystals in Johnstown! The dark brown areas are olivines and their true nature is a dark, partly translucent amber color like the olivine crystals in some pallasites!
