Dear All,

I get the feeling someone wants to use a hack saw!

How much is the value of this specimen?

An old all too familiar saying comes to mind here; "junk in, junk out".
  For the simple among us, one
gets out of something what one puts into it.
Be sure to file off the rough edges if you hack saw this, so the
meteorite police will have better evidence when they come haul you off
to the insane asylum!
Jeeze!
