Hi, Steve, Well, pardon my ignorance, and I stand corrected. Apparently quickly picked a bad example, as I'm familiar with slices in private circulation that aren't as you described. That said, I am familiar with some material which is exactly as you've described it, so that makes sense. Anyway, hopefully the concept came through even though the example was a poor choice. How about Mbale? All best, and Happy New Year, Dave www.fallingrocks.com

Dave, In 1999 I brokered a couple of pieces of Sylacaga from the King Collection that did indeed come from the stone that hit Mrs. Hodges. It came from a core sample taken from that very stone. Somehow Dr. King talked them (the local library or museum) into taking a small core sample from it, maybe he traded them some Allende for it. I think most of what is on the market of Sylacaga came from the King piece, but check the provenance. If the slices are round, or partially round on one edge, it is probably from that core piece.
