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.... ----- Original Message ----- From: "Anne Black" <impact...@aol.com> To: <j...@lutzon.com>; <meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com> Sent: Thursday, September 13, 2018 10:15 PM Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] Skull Carved Out of an Iron Meteorite 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 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.
