What always was a discuragement to me was that I have many meteorites that are an inch in size.? Many are unclassified NWA's .? Now if I were to send one to get tested to someone who usually wants a walnut sized rock, and wants a piece for "THE COLLECTION"? What's left??
How much would the gov keep??
