BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT SOME PEOPLE LIKE TO
COLLECT.
It is very pretentious to question the collecting
habits of any particular person in any hobby.
I collect spheres because that is what I
like.
I also collect 50mm x 50mm square slices because
that is what I LIKE TO COLLECT.
Why anyone would feel the need to question
someone's right to enjoy any hobby is beyond me.

Ehem, and why one is making spheres from meteorites?
Are
they especially usefull? And for what?
Just wondering. Because I
really have no clues, seriously not.
I can understand, that e.g. a fine
octahedrite as a sphere and etched, has a
certain geometrical surprising
aesthetics,
but a chondrite?

Please tell me where you are finding NWA 869 for 10
cents a gram
To get a sphere of this size you have to
start with a 3" cube and cut the
corners off 16 times before you put it in
the sphere machine for many hours
and many grit changes.
I
have looked into having spheres made from many different types of
meteorite
and it is a lot more expensive then most people
think.

Michael,
is there something I am missing on this piece? Even if the
original
chunk of NWA869 weighed 500 grams, and the rest was wasted in
cutting,
wouldn't the uncut stone have sold for about $50? I would think
the
'sphering' process wouldn't add more than $75 to $100 at most to the
retail price. Where does the $400 or more 'value' come from? I
am sorry if
I am misunderstanding something.
