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.
Cheers,
Jeff

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

Bernd's thoughts. It's a spectacular meteorite and well worth a look at!

And right he is. Never seen anything like this before so "strange" can
only vaguely "paraphrase" this oddball of a diogenite! Even though my
budget has been a bit strained lately, I could not resist and purchased
the 6.3-gram piece of NWA 6256. Can hardly wait to add this one to my
collection and examine it closely! Looks like there are lots of triple
junctions!
Regards,
Bernd
