Dominique,
	As well as the information provided by Gregory, there ARE aspects of
Dimmitt that make it one of the more impressive, and CERTAINLY one of
the most "under appreciated" meteorites known to date.
	While it is a regolith breccia (denoting impact) comming from the
surface of an asteroid, it is also composed of numberous other
meteorites, including fragments of LL and  Carbonaceous types and, in
addition, contains microscopic diamonds. 
	Dimmitt is one of the REAL BARGAINS still available to all collectors.
While it IS weathered, it is usually a not unattractive orange-red. 
	Best wishes, Michael
