To Al and list,. That's a great write-up about that subject Al. I can't recall either if that particular subject has been broached. Invariably, when collecting, one might also consider having a "traveling collection" put together as well. Small slices / specimens of the different representative major classes are useful when showing to co-workers, groups etc. I also have one fairly nice sizeable (cheap) NWA replete with internal surface showing as well as fresh fusion crust. This is the sample that I pass around and have handled.
And if someone drops it? I just refer to the previous posts! ;-) Seriously though, Bernd'd suggestion of a thin slice is also useful for a more complete collection, and possibly could be added to the "traveling collection" as well.
