Richard, Bill, Barrett and List,
Personally if a meteorite were glued together I'd want to know, but I'm
positive I could tell it were glued together. Now, to be honest with you,
unless the person was an expert at gluing meteorites, I'm sure most people
could tell it was glued, I would think.
Good Morning Barrett,
I Found a meteorite yesterday while hunting and it was a broken piece.
So I looked around a little more and found the other broken half! I
messed with them a little and proved they go together in a puzzle.
Awesome piece. When my hunting buddies all got together a little

It depends on the meteorite. I find it acceptable to stabilize common
meteorites
with bonding agents before cutting if it looks like it will break apart during
cutting. One of the reasons is safety, the other is conservation. I wouldn't
want a 30 pound monster flying apart in the middle of a

fault line (cracks).
Is it considered ethical or unethical to glue these back together? Or, does
it even matter?
Approx 80% is in one piece and the other 20% is in 4 pieces.
For the record, it appears to be an OC.
Thanks!

I agree with Bills response.
As for the ethics, that will only come into play if you sell it. Ethically you

Personally I wouldn't be as interested in glued meteorite if I knew that it
was. I'd rather have both pieces. If I do buy
