Re: [meteorite-list] Marcin's new NWA 6256 diogenite (oddball)
I just received my slice of this intriguing Diogenite and I want to echo Bernd's thoughts. It's a spectacular meteorite and well worth a look at!

Re: [meteorite-list] Marcin's new NWA 6256 diogenite (oddball)
Hi Jeff, Marcin and List, Yes, that is a beautiful meteorite. I must have missed the first announcement of it. Lately, I have seen some wonderful diogenites that are far different than the Tatahouine and Bilanga that I cut my teeth on. It seems that diogenite can take on a lot of different appearances. :) Best regards, MikeG On 8/13/10, Jeff Kuyken i...@meteorites.com.au wrote: I just received my slice of this intriguing Diogenite and I want to echo Bernd's thoughts.

Re: [meteorite-list] Marcin's new NWA 6256 diogenite (oddball)
I agree Mike. I've always found it amazing how different one Diogenite can look from the next. After recently researching the Vestan meteorites I personally find NWA 6256 to be an especially interesting one. I guess in some respects you could say that this is what a Diogenite should look like with its large, brecciated, coarse-grained crystals.
