I guess it is yours to do with as you wish--- but it is a terrible
shame to sell it off in pieces when it's most wonderful feature is the
way it goes back together! For classification I could perhaps see
sending a corner piece-- but to sell off a miracle meteorite in pieces
seems cruel and unusual punishment for a rare piece.
