[meteorite-list] A Simple Question

[James Balister]

What always was a discuragement to me was that I have many meteorites that are an inch in size.  Many are unclassified NWA's .  Now if I were to send one to get tested to someone who usually wants a walnut sized rock, and wants a piece for "THE COLLECTION"  What's left?  
How much would the gov keep?
