Sorry for the delay, I got very very busy today and was not around last night. Ill post the pics of the slices in the AM.
I got it sliced even tho a couple list members tried very hard to stop it, a couple even contacted the University that was going to do it for me and complained, caused a big stink and got people in trouble for offering to help. People need to get out there and find their own pieces, and then they can worry about cutting it or not cutting it. After they walk nearly 200 miles and hunt for over 100hrs and spend lots of money on the hunt. Then we will see what they want to do with their only find.
  For me I wanted really bad to keep a piece, that find meant a whole lot to me, but I am not able to afford to keep the entire piece in my collection, I am struggling for $$ right now being laid off and having 4 kids. I need the $$ but really want to keep a piece of it. The only way to do that is to have it sliced.
I am sure there will be a larger piece found, if not already. I know of another 300+gr stone found already.

 Best Wishes,
Joe Kerchner
