[meteorite-list] Keith's Tucson Meteorite of the Day

[JKGwilliam]

I agree with Keith.  This cube is a wonderful specimen that shows 
better than ordinary (not that meteorites are ordinary) slices.  The 
real shame in meteorite specimen processing over cutting.  This cube 
could have been cut into several slices but some one decided to 
preserve it as a cube.
