Hello John and list,

Here is a photo of the inside of a 15 gram piece I cut a while back,
unpolished.

Now about the slices, perhaps and if the main mass does not tickle anyone's
fancy I may have it sliced up and offer it that way. I do have a couple in
the 30 to 60 gram size I may cut and offer at a later date.

I also plan to have a few thin sections made....

Bill
