Well,
If you insist Jason.
In fact I did a bit of hunting and found the original picture and the page
I posted on my site way back then. 3 years ago!!! Time flies.

And here are two pictures:

You can decide for yourself which one is the real meteorite and which one
is the cast.
And if you want to know more, here is the original page.

And if you really insist on it Jason or I might tell you the nickname it
acquired during that Tucson show. Right Jason?
Enjoy.

Hello Todd, All,
They color the casts with some sort of finish - I'm not sure exactly
what it is, but you can choose a pre-set finish and they'll do that -
or you can show them the original and ask them to do their best to
match it. They got pretty good results with the few irons we've asked
them to match - with Burns we asked for a little darker than the
original (it was kind of dirty which made the iron look lighter) and
the result was pretty stunning. Unfortunately I'm not at home, but
Anne *might* (pretty please?) be willing to post a pic or two.
It doesn't chip off like paint at any rate.
Regards,
Jason
