Dear Tracy, List;
I have went through a few hundred nice yellow polyurethane specimen
casts that were once clear back in the 60's and 70's. Now the yellow
casts have nice specimens in them and are totally useless except for
filling up land fills. I would be very skeptical of putting anything
of value in most casting materials. Plastic is great for cars and
fashion ware but not with my meteorites (or even my saw dust).

If you have a quantity of mixed meteoric dust, why not mix it with
resin and make a solid block of meteorite-dust-impregnated plastic?
Something like that would still have the cachet of meteorite, but be
much less of a loss to science, and you could still carve it, form it,
create all kinds of neato stuff. There is a RPG game supplier who
offers carved meteorite dice at $100 each. I'd much rather pay $10
for one cast out of dust and plastic.
