[meteorite-list] New AZ find main mass, AD

[Bill Southern]

Hello John and list,

Here is a photo of the inside of a 15 gram piece I cut a while back, 
unpolished.

Now about the slices, perhaps and if the main mass does not tickle anyone's 
fancy I may have it sliced up and offer it that way. I do have a couple in 
the 30 to 60 gram size I may cut and offer at a later date.

I also plan to have a few thin sections made....

Bill
