NWA 13692 Diogenite Meteorite Endcut – For Sale
The Northwest Africa 13692 (NWA 13692) is a rare HED achondrite meteorite, classified as a diogenite. Purchased in Morocco in 2020, this specimen weighed 950 g in total and shows a weathered fusion crust, adding to its character and authenticity.
Diogenites are composed mainly of orthopyroxene, representing deep crustal or mantle material from a differentiated parent body—most likely asteroid 4 Vesta.
