NWA 5784 - Diogenite — Earth's Hidden Treasures® - Minerals, Fossils, Meteorites and Cut & Polished Stone

Earth’s Hidden Treasures® is a mineral, fossil and meteorite business that began in 1994, in Ft. Wayne, Indiana. It grew out of a passion to collect rocks, minerals and fossils - ‘hidden treasures’ - that nature has produced in an amazing array of formations, colors, shapes and sizes. When we moved to Illinois in 2002, our business came with us. We continuously seek out the most reasonably priced, quality specimens for our customers. We participate annually as vendors in several Rock and Gem shows in Georgia and Tennessee and now offer our quality specimens for sale online as we have time. We have over 100,000 specimens, most priced under $50.

Meteorite Name:

This 0.1 gram specimen is part of a 2.6kilogram main piece that was found in 2008.

Diogenites are an abundant type of achondrite, linked by geochemical traits such as oxygen isotopic ratios and certain elemental ratios, of which Fe/Mn is the most widely cited. The dominant mineral in diogenites is orthopyroxene. The diogenites are strongly linked with two other achondrite groups: eucrites and howardites; the three groups are collectively known as HED meteorites and may come from asteroid 4 Vesta.
