Okay, I know that NWA 869 is about as unrare as meteorites get, but I wanted to share this photo.
Tonight I took a small individual I had bought from Dean Bessey via Ebay that had a mostly flat side
with an interesting raised ring structure and sanded it with rough then fine grit sandpaper and came
out with what is IMHO a very cool looking piece, especially concidering that I paid only $3.00 for
it. (The pits in the center are where I didn't fully penetrate the fusion crust-- but I didn't want
to destroy the features I had already exposed).
Heres' a "before and after" picture:

And a larger "after" picture:

The "before" photo was adapted from the auction photo, the "after" photo came from placing the stone
on my flatbed scanner.
