[meteorite-list] Meteorite casting.

I have to agree with that 
Yes, the replicas doen by that foundry are amazing. I can certainly vouch 
for that.
My cast of the Burns meteorite is stunning, it looks just like the real 
meteorite, and it is almost as heavy!
(sorry guys, not for sale.)
 
Thank you Peter and Jason.

Hello Marcin, Dieter, All,
Four our irons, we use a foundry here in Los Angeles that produces
fine bronze and iron replicas, weighed if desired.
If you'd like their contact information, I can forward it to you.
Regards,
Jason

This means that you will need to cut it and you will loose its natural 
beautiful shape. Can you do a casting of the meteorite before you will cut it? 
What kind of materials should you use not to affect a meteorite's chemical 
components? Is it recommended or not to do a meteorite cast before a sample 
analysis? Does anybody have any experience in casting a meteorite?
