[meteorite-list] Meteorite casting.

[Dieter Heinlein]

Hello Marcin,

well I have manufactured moulds and casts of some historically and scientifically
important meteorites, like the three Neuschwanstein stones and one of the Jese-
nice meteorites, for example.

If you are interested to hear and learn more details, please let me know.

Best regards
