I guess I have to keep saying it, but there ain't no such thing as an
official classification. NWA 4223 was classified as an
olivine-bearing diogenite by Connolly et al. (2007: MB92), citing data

Dear List,
I guess the terms approved and listed in the Meteoritical Bulletin might be
more accurate. For collecting purposes, buyers consider approved stones to be

Dear List Members,
It is my pleasure to announce a NEW Olivine Diogenite, NWA 4223, the third
member of this exclusive group. It took me three years to get to this point
of first public offering so you know the science has been done! It has a TKW
of just 329 grams and is very course-grained.
Hi list members, For those who are interested in thin sections. Greg has
been kind enough to (previously) lend me the NWA 3151 Brachinite that he has
for sale. My micrograph article in Meteorite Times December is on this thin
section.
I felt obliged to say it is a wonderful sample
for your very generous price for such a rare
classification.
