Aloha listoids, I am very pleased to announce NWA 6575, a new diogenite from out of the Sahara. A fresh crusted 135g individual was purchased out of Morocco January 2011, and has yielded some incredible slices. Dr Tony Irving analyzed the stone for classification and describes it as a fresh specimen with cataclastic texture, composed mostly orthopyroxene (Fs21.7-21.9Wo1.4; FeO/MnO = 27.8-31.1) with accessory chromite, altered Ni-free metal and troilite. I describe it as simply delicious with beautiful green hypersthene crystals and metallic inclusions.
