WOW... the first time i see a complete bondoc slice... i have the 2 "lithologies" of bondoc... the "stony' part and the metallic nodules.. i experience a lot of problems of rusting in the stony part.. formation of droplets of "liquid rust" (like akagane*te).. i try to rinse several times with demi water then pure alcohol, oven drying.. anybody an idea to solve this ? thanks !!

Hi Ray, This is a beautiful slice of A Bondoc nodule! The pyroxene and metal look fantastic together. I love the contraction cracks in it:) Well done M8

Never mind...I reminded myself that NWA 3106 is called a metal-rich diogenite. There maybe others.

this nice photo reminds me of the some NWA finds that were first described as metal-rich diogentites. Those turned out to be mesosiderites too. No such thing as a metal-rich diogentite that I know of to date.
