Hmm, all very well and good, and usually most people can take a well
meant joke and laugh with it, that is until someone then finds it deeply
offensive or hurtful or harmful to their lively hood then its suddenly
not quite so funny any more. In today's, ip logged, globally litigious
world, persona
Steve,
I think you'll find it usually works the other way a lower$/g for
larger pieces and Higher $/g for smaller
(Otherwise there would be no reason for anyone to cut rocks into smaller
pieces, and that would make a main mass worth less than the total cost
of the cut pieces!).

Sounds just like it's 'distilled fermented grape juice' to me - so,
presumably Schnapps / moonshine is probably a close equivalent?

I think it's a great idea, this is what is missing in a lot of meteorite
collections these days - good presentation, a good mount or display can make a
dull sometimes worthless speck into something to really inspire people!, that
is a GOOD THING.
Best,
Mark
