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.

Obviously true, Christian. And also true in John's note that cubes are better than slices in some cases due to less kerf waste. I'd imagine most (if not everyone) who have commented on the 3D aesthetic values also love spheres for similar reasons. No need to expand on that... Thanks for all of
