<p>Nice pics!<br>
It is an excellent puzzle even though it's a meteorwrong. That thing is huge!. It'll take a rather large saw to cut in half. It may work to use vertical band saw that can be liquid cooled. Will need to add a moving sled to carry the slagrock. Harbor Freight has a handheld bandsaw for under $100. It could slice edges. I'm not allowed in there without adult supervision :-(</p>

Thanks, should have clarified just how huge my 'meteorwrong' is. (over 400<br>
pounds!) I need to find a small machine shop with a large horizontal band<br>
saw first, /then/ someone with a lapidary slicer. Assuming of course a<br>
full slice is as intersting looking as the two windows I have cut. If<br>
not, then game over:-( Since it is not a real meteorite and its only<br>
value is novelty, I need to be careful not to tie up a bunch of money I<br>
may never get back.<br>

Ah what the heck, here are a bunch of pictures.<br>

Did try to contact someone at the Georgia club, but it was too close to<br>
the holidays so I think he forgot about me. May try again. Or just show<br>
up at one of their meetings with a 400 pound boulder;)<br>
