Hi Bernd and List,

I agree, Gary's diogenite is beautiful!

You mentioned NWA 4302, another Johnstown-like diogenite I sold in 2006,
unfortunately is only had a TKW of 46.2 grams in two pieces and the few
specimens available sold out immediately at the time. Last April while I was
in the field, I asked Adam to post to the List for me a couple photos to
another Johnstown-like diogenite I purchased in Morocco in 2009 that weighed
323 grams in two fragments. I sold the uncut larger piece to a collector,
sorry folks! Here is the post with photo links to the 323g stone, my
pictures do not do it justice:

Dear List,
My brother, Greg wanted me to post these images of NWA 5405, a spectacular
Johnstown-like Diogenite.

It would appear the pieces of this diogenite puzzle/fall are finally making
it to the collector market. If you do not have one yet and want a fresh
diogenite, don't wait! I am sure Gary's pieces won't last long!!

Best Regards,
Greg

Hi All,

The only diogenite in my collection that can compete with this
NWA beauty when it comes to freshness and translucent, green
hypersthene crystals, is my NWA 4302 diogenite from the Hup?s.
Both NWA 4302 and NWA 6575 look a lot like Johnstown,...only
much fresher!

Can hardly wait for my slice to arrive here and I'm surely looking forward
to a thin section of NWA 6575, which will make this a perfect "combo"!

Cheers,

Bernd
