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
