312 and 86 grams.   Diogenite



Shun-Chung writes:
I would like to share photos of my most recent acquisition on the MPOD. It is two pieces of unclassified diogenite.

  Two stones weighing 312 g and 86 g were acquired from an NWA dealer this autumn. Although HED are not my main focus, their strong resemblance to Tatahouine was irresistible. Both stones are predominately composed of unbrecciated orthopyroxene crystals. The smaller piece is partially covered with fresh dark fusion crust. They will be analyzed soon to figure out their relationship with Tatahouine.
