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.

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 wrote: I just received my slice of this intriguing Diogenite and I want to echo Bernd's thoughts.

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!
