[meteorite-list] Cutting a Window

Hi Listoids, Can anyone offer me good advice on how to cut a window in a meteorite without a lapidary saw? Can a regular table saw be modified for this use? If not, is there anything other than a lap saw that will do a good job? Thanks, Gary http://www.meteorite-dealers.com

Re: [meteorite-list] Cutting a Window

Hi Gary, You can always polish a window instead of cutting one. That is, unless you would like a small end cut to go with the larger stone as well. Have fun! Greg Greg Hupe The Hupe Collection NaturesVault (eBay) [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.LunarRock.com IMCA 3163

Re: [meteorite-list] Odd Lights, Low Sounds Cause Stir in Maine

I used to live at Mt. Abrahm. This is not the first time strange lights have been seen there. I myself have seen lights hanging low on the horizon there many times. Nobody ever has an explanation. I wonder if its not surreptitious Air Force manuevers. At least that's always been my theory.

Re: [meteorite-list] Odd Lights, Low Sounds Cause Stir in Maine

No, the color is caused by oxygen in the atmosphere. Most low velocity fireballs are seen as green. Faster fireballs are brighter, and the white blackbody radiation often swamps the fainter green, although green may still be seen in the trail. Anyway, nothing odd in your seeing two green

Re: [meteorite-list] Odd Lights, Low Sounds Cause Stir in Maine

Many fireballs have a green hue and that is from atmospheric oxygen as determined through spectral analysis of meteors. Copper abundance in meteorites is rare. I used to think the green was probably from nickel. Elton --- Gary K. Foote [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Those are the only two

Gary, 400 grit is relatively fine when used in conjunction with meteorites. In most cases, I don't polish past 400 grit as detail is lost when over polished. Starting with 150 grit then 300 and then 400 works great for many meteorites. Use your paper on top of a large think piece of glass

Another way to recognize a Venus surface rock would be from its weathering in the Venus atmosphere. Because Venus' surface is so hot, and its atmosphere is so rich in carbon dioxide and sulfur oxides, the surface rocks should have lots of sulfates and maybe carbonates in them. Water-free sulfates
