Hi Mike,

Welcome to the list. I have also seen you on Cloudy Nights, where I think you may have responded to a few of my own posts and in the swap and shop section.

I would highly recommend Find a Falling Star by Nininger. A very inspirational book by the greatest meteorite hunter of all time. Easy reading and just fun.

I would also recommend the following ebay auction. Why? Because it is my auction!

As for cutting, I used to cut small meteorites with a lapidary trim saw using distilled water as a coolent. You would not want to do this with certain meteorites but for the vast majority of OCs it is fine. i know some list members have adapted power tools but knowing my mechanical abilty I personally would not.

Hope this helps.

-Walter Branch
