[meteorite-list] Tektit "Muong Nong" and cutting

[Dieter Heinlein]

Hello Marcin,

I have cut tektites, and likewise Muong Nong Glasses already several times
with a diamond saw: no problems if you cut slowly enough. But you should be 
careful with tektites having great cavities (bubbles).

Try to etch these slices CAREFULLY with flouric acid (HF): the result is
marvellous!

Best regards

Dieter
