I would like to add Sikhote Alin to my collection of 50mm spheres.
BUT it has been difficult to find a suitable specimen
If you have a large piece of this meteorite or any other from the "Coarsest"
classification, and if you would like to have it cut into slices / end cuts
please send an email to bobadebt at ec.rr.com
My cutting process uses a .030” thick circular blade instead if the more
conventional band saw.
This not only saves material but it also produces a very flat surface that
is easy to polish and etch.
I can send you images of cut slices right off the saw in which you can see
the reflection of a penny.
To create a 50mm sphere I will need a 52mm x 52mm x 65mm block hich normally
weighs about 1500 grams if cut from an iron meteorite
If you have the material this could be a good opportunity for both of us.
