Hey
Just cut a thin slice with inclusion so they will use it to make a thin
section
and send this second 20g piece as a type specimen.

But I have one question to all who get meteorites classified in big labs.
This 20g/20% is a piece from where LAB will cut a slice for thin section to
make micro probe analyses. But if I will send them type specimen + one or
more thin section, then this "type specimen" still must have 20g/20% or this
should be smaller ?
