Amin-Ullah Kakar
It looks like clinopyroxene in thin section, isn't it?
Hodges Jeffery replied:
Hello Amin-Ullah Kakar This is a meteorite classified as a Diogenite. Diogenites are an abundant type of achondrite, linked by geochemical traits such as oxygen isotopic ratios and certain elemental ratios, of which Fe/Mn is the most widely cited. The dominant mineral in diogenites is orthopyroxene. Thanks for the comment, Jeff

I had noticed your work before. I am impressed with the diversity of your well-composed colorful micrographs. I can see why you are fascinated by them. LF
