NWA 2801 Meteorite Slice Achondrite-Olivine Diogenite Algeria Found:...
NWA 2801 Meteorite Slice Achondrite-Olivine Diogenite Algeria Found: 2005 An extremely rare class of meteorite, the designation of Olivine Diogenite mandated an addition to the longstanding "howardite-eucrite-diogenite" (HED) subgroup resulting in the clan becoming "HEDO" to account for the new subset. Originating from the asteroid Vesta, this example is noteworthy for green hues, which dominate the "camouflage" mottled surface. NWA 2801 was discovered in 2003 and has a rather unique appearance. This specimen weighs 92 grams and has some subtle fracturing on the face. Overall Measurements: 3.65 x 3.27 x 0.18 inches (9.28 x 8.30 x 0.45 cm), weighs 92 grams [Scale: 1 inch, with mark at 1 cm]
