I agree with Keith. This cube is a wonderful specimen that shows
better than ordinary (not that meteorites are ordinary) slices. The
real shame in meteorite specimen processing over cutting. This cube
could have been cut into several slices but some one decided to
preserve it as a cube.

Hello List
I can't understand why you think this is a horrible end for a meteorite.
You can see the 3 dimensional Widmanstatten perfect and the shape of
the troilite inclusions, better than in any 2D slice.
No materiel was wasted in getting the cube shape, other than normal
saw and grind waste, It was a large long brick, after removing
several slices it's a cube.
I think the Karl's did a great job. I'll post more later this week.
Thanks for your time
