Farmer,

Since they say a picture is worth a thousand words, here is a link for you with a photo of one of my slices that was supposedly "90% destroyed":

Steve, are you aware that slicing this meteorite is destroying 90% of the minerals and science value of it? It is an extremely rare meteorite and cutting
does far more damage than breaking.
We are having a 19 gram individual broken up in the UofA laboratory now and
cutting was absolutely ruled out
Due to the damage it would cause, even dry. While slice must be beautiful and I would love to see the pics, it should really not be done on this meteorite. FYI

Hey List,

I just got in some slices of Sutter's Mill.

So I have a question, do carbonaceous chondrites ever have impact
melt zones
in them?
