Hi Paul! In my opinion: Yes, of course! You can give an additional information to the label you create for your collection (or for sale) and provide the sample you want to give away with a copy of the original label you/or/and Joe got from the MNH NY. The proof of the origin and history of the piece are well documented in this case and that's, what is important.

Suppose you purchase a 50g meteorite from Joe Dealer and Joe supplies information that the specimen is "ex Museum of Natural History, New York." Then, suppose you cut it in half. Are either of the pieces, or both, considered to be "ex Museum of Natural History, New York?" Cheers.
