[meteorite-list] Slump glass meteorite protection/display

[STARSANDSCOPES at aol.com]

Hi list,  A couple weeks ago there was a  thread on encasing meteorites in 
resin.  Also in this months Meteorite  Times there was a nicely written article  
Preserving meteorite slices in  home-made glass mountings, by Gregory E Carr  
 http://www.meteorite-times.com/meteorite_frame.htm

I was wondering if  anyone has tried slump glass.  This is the process where 
a sandwich of  glass with a meteorite slice in the middle is heated to the 
point of fusing the  outside glass sheets.   It would drive out all moisture 
while  completely sealing in the sample.  Some material would melt at the same  
temperature as the glass but irons and most stonies would not.   What  about 
Olivine, would the melt point of Olivine be higher than the  glass?

Would this work?  I have seen some real cool stuff fused into  glass this 
way.
