[meteorite-list] tile saw cut meteorites?

[Roman Jirasek]

The few kilos of Estherville I received had 1/4" wide cuts in them,
probably from a cut-off saw or grinder.
Cut loss did not seem to be a factor back then, several years ago,
by non-collectors, or some geologists.

> Rod saws, wire saws, are great for cutting thin ceramic tile, usually soft
wall tile. It would be a waste of time and a good meteorite to try and use
them in this way. Imagine trying to cut a meteorite with a hack saw but with
less control.
