Aloha listoids,

I am very pleased to announce NWA 6575, a new diogenite from out of the Sahara. A fresh crusted 135g individual was purchased out of Morocco January 2011, and has yielded some incredible slices. Dr Tony Irving analyzed the stone for classification and describes it as a fresh specimen with cataclastic texture, composed mostly orthopyroxene (Fs21.7-21.9Wo1.4; FeO/MnO = 27.8-31.1) with accessory chromite, altered Ni-free metal and troilite. I describe it as simply delicious with beautiful green hypersthene crystals and metallic inclusions.

I have also pre-released some small slices of NWA 6577, my new polymict eucrite on ebay, in auctions ending this Saturday beginning at 8am Pacific. This is what the meteorite looked like before cutting: http://tinyurl.com/493c35g and http://tinyurl.com/4rxbytc and http://tinyurl.com/4zw9tny
