[meteorite-list] Sutter's Mill slices question, Impact Melt?

[Steve Arnold]

Farmer,

Since they say a picture is worth a thousand words, here is a link for 
you with a photo of one of my slices that was supposedly "90% 
destroyed":

Steve, are you aware that slicing this meteorite is destroying 90% of 
the
minerals and science value of it? It is an extremely rare meteorite and 
cutting
does far more damage than breaking.
We are having a 19 gram individual broken up in the UofA laboratory now 
 and
cutting was absolutely ruled out
Due to the damage it would cause, even dry. While slice must be 
beautiful and I
would love to see the pics, it should really not be done on this 
meteorite. FYI
