I've only glued a meteorite once-- a complete, finger-shaped (and sized) 869
that I wanted to wear on a lanyard. Got the hole drilled most of the way
through it, it broke in two. I used regular Superglue (or it's generic equal)
and it has held firm ever since. Doesn't even look broken. (Might want to
spring for the gel version).
