Stan,
Not only do I agree with you on that issue, but aren't those diamonds in the carbonaceous chondrites nanometer-sized, or a billionth of a meter in size? I don't understand how something so miniscule could affect a sawblade. I also thought I heard that it was carbides that caused the difficulty in cutting, but I don't remember my source.

The low TKW and the possibility that this CV3 may contain microscopic diamonds should be enough to justify
maybe someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but arent microscopic diamonds pretty common in CAIs in CV3's - microscopic diamonds were originally found to common in allende CAI's, no?
