John,
I accept that meteorites have to be cut to study the matrix, and re-cut so more experts can study it, and cut even smaller in thin-sections to be studied some more. And I accept that pieces go to collectors for safe keeping and preservation. But I don?t like meteorites being sliced and diced and minced into tiny crumbs that are not even recognizable.
As for spheres, skulls, rings, ??and over knick-knacks, No. It is adding insult to injury.

Amazing craftmanship - yes (if it's not a product of a 3 D printer, of course ^^)One might call this object obsessive, even idiotic. Nevertheless, the shape of the skull is a perfect sculpture of itself, and I don't hesitate finding it fascinating to follow the Widmanstaetten patterns and their transformations through the utmost complexe sculptural landscape of volumes, depressions ...I agree, the imaginati
