Found in Algeria in 2005, NWA 2801 is an extremely rare class of meteorite originating from the deepest depths of asteroid Vesta. 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. This example is noteworthy for green hues, which dominate a unique 'camouflage' mottled surface.
Handsomely displayed in a custom porthole-style airtight frame, with identification plaque on the front.
