Hi Tracy and List,

I am glad to hear that Lovinas is a meteorite. But, regardless of
it's origin, it is an amazing aesthetic specimen. Even if it was some
sort of terrestrial product, it's otherworldly beauty would look great
in any display case.

Has anyone tried to etch a piece of it yet? (or did I miss that part)

Best regards,

MikeG
