Hi Steve, Tom P, John B, JKG, DF,

Thanks friends much for the nice  comments and humor on this suffering old 
horse.  Somehow I regret making  the meteorefrigerator magnet comment, as I am 
imagining hot dog style vendors at  the People's Auction not only selling 
meteorite coins, but now an assortment of  magnetized meteorites:)  Pandora's Box 
is open.  Luckily by heating to  a bit above 100 degrees C, they lose their 
magnetization quickly.  So best  to magnetize after etching and drying. These 
magnetized meteorites really ought  to appeal to the mystic crystal crowd, good 
luck John, and for commercial  production the trade secret is...to use a well 
wound electromagnet:)...Saludos,  Doug
