Hello all, I see there is an Ebay auction today for a metal-rich diogenite for about $30/g. I thought with the last go around with NWA 1827, 1879 and 1882 that a metal rich diogenite did not exist and that these were all classified as MES-C's that sell for about $10 to $25/g, depending on the number and source. Now it looks like one University has gone ahead and called a newer find a metal rich diogenite. I did note that this new "diogenite" find, NWA-3106, has about 11% metal, and that the MES-C's have been found to have about 10% metal in them. From my simple minded perspective, we are still looking at the same orthopyroxene/metal rich material.
Are there any other comments about this new find and its classification versus the others? BTW...I love the pieces I have of the MES-C's. To me it is one of the coolest meteorites out there.
