This pristine specimen weighs 15.01 grams, measuring 1.0 inches long by 0.75 inches wide, and showcases the textbook crystalline texture and olive-green hue Diogenites are famous for. These unique meteorites are believed to have originated deep within the crust of a large asteroid, possibly 4 Vesta, one of the largest bodies in the asteroid belt.

Classified under the HED group (Howardite-Eucrite-Diogenite), Diogenites are ancient, achondritic meteorites that formed through slow cooling beneath the surface of their parent asteroid, making them incredibly rich in orthopyroxene minerals and prized among planetary collectors.
