On a practical matter, HOW do you make a carving like that? What kinds of tools or equipment would
you use to cut holes out of a pallasite like that? Laser? Water-jet?

Interesting thing to create with it, though. I've wondered in the past if Brenham was what the
Superman creators had in mind when they came up with kryptonite-- both being green meteorites
raining down on Kansas.
