Tonight I took a small individual I had bought from Dean Bessey via Ebay that had a mostly flat side with an interesting raised ring structure and sanded it with rough then fine grit sandpaper and came out with what is IMHO a very cool looking piece, especially concidering that I paid only $3.00 for it. (The pits in the center are where I didn't fully penetrate the fusion crust-- but I didn't want to destroy the features I had already exposed). Heres' a "before and after" picture: http://webpages.charter.net/garrison6328/meteorite_slice_armor_both.jpg And a larger "after" picture: http://webpages.charter.net/garrison6328/meteorite_slice_armor.jpg The "before" photo was adapted from the auction photo, the "after" photo came from placing the stone on my flatbed scanner.
