Anne,
Quoted
" 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."

Okay I agree, so for study , safe keeping and preservation---why is everyone cutting them up and selling them as a profit maker?
Oh, and you have to cut it our way....

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.

What does this mean?-- "personally would prefer a good sculpted, well sized Gibeon individual in as found condition. Together with
an etched endcut"So it is okay to have an individual of a meteorite and Slice into it for Your etched endcut. Think about it, ya'll
are agreeing to to Cut it Your way--but noother. Still confused?????----- Original Message ----- From: Mattias B?rmann via

Carved Out of an Iron MeteoriteLadies and Gentlemen,well, this is of course not a work of art. 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 imagination of the wasted
material makes depressive.Conclusion? I personally would prefer a good sculpted, well sized Gibeon individual in as found
condition. Together with an etched endcut. (Would absolutely do to keep the pic in a virtual poison chest for
contemplation.)RegardsMatthiasAm 13.09.2018 um 22:55 schrieb Deborah Anne Martin via Meteorite-list:So do
