NEW: 20.1g Stunning Diogenite Meteorite Under Classification - Beautiful Matrix! Parent Body: Asteroid Vesta

Diogenite meteorites originated billions of years ago as a result of geological processes deep within asteroids, likely asteroid Vesta. Vesta is among the largest bodies in our asteroid belt and a focal point of NASA's successful DAWN mission. Massive impacts on Vesta ejected these stones, dispersing them throughout our solar system. 

This stunning diogenite has just been discovered and has a breathtaking interior matrix.  We are anxiously awaiting the results of the final analysis.  Now is a great time to jump on board pre-classification to take advantage of what could quite possibly become an even more special meteorite after the scientist is done with it.  For more information on meteorites under classification, be sure to visit our FAQ section of the website!

About Stony Meteorites:

Stony meteorites are the most common meteorites, making up the majority of the meteorites discovered here on Earth.  They are divided into two groups: chondrites, which are some of the oldest primitive material in our entire solar system originating from large asteroids, and achondrites, which include meteorites that derived from our moon and Mars.
