I am also the lucky owner of one of those Venus stone casts from Bob Haag. Beautiful! And you know why he called this one the "Venus stone"..?? :-)
This is one very special nice example of a flight-oriented meteorite, where the rule applies: NEVER EVER cut specimen like these just for the sake of getting some classification data! Why? Because a cut would destroy the "character" of the piece! And so we don´t know what´s inside this beautiful meteorite, we can only make some assumptions from non-destructive observation.
