Welcome Michael; You asked about a diamond saw when cutting small specimens.A tile saw works well if you clamp the specimen securely.I use a regular tile saw with a sliding table bought at Lowe's.The blade is rather thick that comes with it,but you can purchase cubic boron blades and probably some others that are thinner.Mine is a 6" bladed saw.( Hope this helps ).
The IMCA is a good organization for meteorite collectors and dealers,i belong and will occasionally sell some items that are excess in my collection,of course,I am a collector.Maybe i feel that belonging to the IMCA helps keep me honest and gives me a feeling that fellow members are likewise honest and straight foreward in their transactions ( it has been so ).Many dealers don't belong and they are honest and trustworthy.I guess it is a matter of personal preference as to the degree that someone wants to go to get involved in collecting anything.Meteorites are one of the greatest fascinations to me and i love to possess them.Seems you do too.That's good and again welcome aboard.( collector of meteorites )!
