[meteorite-list] Looking for New Material

I just wanted to send a request out to everyone on the list.

I am looking for some Chondrite material large enough to produce my next 
50mm sphere.

To qualify it must be at least 51mm as measured at what would be the 3 
center axes of the sphere.

IF you have some material that's large enough but no way to cut it I will be 
willing to work with you.

I have a saw and can produce very nice parallel slices with less then 18% 
cut loss.

The material has to have character and if possible be a classification that 
I don't have yet, you can see what I have by going to my web site at:

Unfortunately for me "cost" is also a consideration.

At this time my own self imposed limitations prevent me from spending a lot 
on material for a sphere so please don't tease me with beautiful pictures of 
specimens that will cost me in the thousands of dollars, those will have to 
wait till later :)

Thanks
