Guess you had some one disagree with you before on this list because of the cutting loss? Was it because you cut the meteorite up or because of the loss of the grinding the rock in shape? Most everyone does cut a meteorite up to try to break even for a purchased meteorite or make a profit or make the meteorite available for collectors and scientists. I am sure you have to cut your meteorite to the closest possible shape and are you able to sell those slices? How many cuts do you actually have to make? Can the material when you saw it in shape be saved? Maybe you could sell it as a specialty, like the 'Bessey Specks'. Maybe something like 'Sphere's dust'. Maybe Martin Altman, MexicoDoug and the BIMS group, some of the British guys are here on this list too and they always have a wonderful and entertaining dialog going on, maybe they could come up with ideas for you. Guess first we need to know what is the loss and what shape is it in, dust, larger particles? Just a thought, Moni _ Make every e-mail and IM count.

Re: [meteorite-list] Web Site Update & A Big Thank You
One of things I find very interesting (besides the 3 dimensional beauty) is the density comparisons that can be done because being 50mm spheres, all of the specimens have the exact same volume. Very cool! Paul David & Kitt Deyarmin wrote: Thank you very much for the kind words I know some of you may not like my collection, but you have to admit it is shaping up to be very unique. When I started this collection in May of 2006 I never dreamed I would get many of the specimens I have such as the Brahin, the Graphite Nodule and the Libyan Glass. It wasn't a matter of money, I knew if I really wanted something I could save up enough, I just doubted that I could find material large enough to produce 50mm spheres. Now, here it is 2 years later and I have most of the specimens I never thought I would have. The only one left on my original list is a Sikhote Alin but I know it will be along time before I can afford to add that one to the shelf. I'm extremely excited about what the next year will bring but I don't have high expectations, I think I'll be lucky to add 2-3 new spheres to my collection. I'm looking hard for an L-5 (preferably a Ghubrua) , an H-4 and H-6, and a Zag (H3-H6). If anyone has some material they think would make a nice sphere contact me off list at bobadebt at ec.rr.com and we can discuss the options.
