Aloha mai kakou, I have a couple of new meteorites to introduce:

NWA 6386 - a moderately shocked diogenite cataclastic breccia with closely packed clasts. In my opinion, one of the most beautiful and intriguing diogenite meteorites around, and its dense hardness allows a mirror polish on one side.  I'll get a webpage up of this material in a few days, but for now two specimens have been released from captivity through ebay auctions ending October 30.

NWA 6391 - a diogenite polymict breccia meteorite of only 59g TKW.  A limited number of beautifully prepared full slices and endcuts are available, all rimmed or backed with fresh fusion crust, featuring a strikingly colorful brecciated matrix peppered with FeNi inclusions.

NWA 6393 - a howardite with a TKW of 485g, featuring many clasts of eucritic and diogenitic brecciated debris, with a scattering of FeNi inclusions (my collection stone has a huge 15mm iron bleb visible through the crust).  This is a beautiful meteorite that is affordably priced.
