I second Mike G's sentiment regarding Mike M's preparation.
As most of you know, Mike has been the one cutting the 200 gram Brenham I am
selling slices of. With every shipment I am gobsmacked at how well they are
prepared in terms of parallel cuts, mirror polish, etching, and
preservation. I had the opportunity to visit his home, the location of a
meteorite cutting outfit that is, simply put, massive. In addition to all
the saws there were the control pieces, small slices prepared different ways
with notes following each piece through time, inspected routinely. And then
there are pieces Miller recently sent out for free to the four corners, the
worlds most hostile environments for iron slices, so he could further
perfect "the process".
Progress has come a long way in a short time largely due to Mike and a few
relentless others like him.

Hi Mike and List,
I think I speak for many others on the List when I say that your
specimens and preparation are top notch. I have spent the last two
days slicing and polishing some stony chondrites, and it's been a lot
of work - it's been fun, and I wouldn't trade it for anything else,
but it's still a lot of work. It's a labor of love. When I think
about how much work goes into cutting, polishing, and preparing irons,
it makes me wince because I know how labor intensive irons are. And
not only the labor, but the wear and tear on saw blades, diamond
wheels, etchant, and the other expenses. Frankly, I don't fool with
irons because of the high learning curve and consumption of materials.
I don't see how some of you guys who specialize in irons can make any
profit. Keep up the good work. Those knives look awesome. Now if I
can just convince the wife that I *need* one.... LOL
Best regards and happy huntings,
MikeG
