Own a piece of the cosmos with this exceptional NWA 17418 HED Diogenite Meteorite, officially classified in April 2025—making it one of the newest and rarest Diogenite finds on Earth.
This pristine specimen weighs 2.17 grams, measuring 0.50 inches long by 0.50 inches wide, and showcases the textbook crystalline texture and olive-green hue Diogenites are famous for.
