I have 4 very small slices of Sikhote-Alin available in the following gram 
weights: 9gr, 8gr, 7gr & 3gr
These were created when I took a regular slice and cut it into a 50mm x 50mm 
Square Slice for my collection.
I used these to test my etching technique before I worked on the slice for 
my collection, so they are in various degrees of polish and etch.
>From what I have been told, SA is very difficult to cut so you do not see a 
lot of it available as slices.
For my own experience it is hard to etch, when I received the slice it 
looked like it barley had 2 separate bands but by the time I finished 
working on it, it had 3 distinct bands and some nice inclusions.
I paid $3 per gram for the original slice and I would like to get that for 
these 4 small slices.
If you are interested and would like to see a picture of the slices please 
send an email to bobadebt at ec.rr.com
Thanks
