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.

Is this a double impact? It looks like another rim within the larger crater.
