A former 40.5 kg Individual was cut with an ordinary automatic hack-saw in the almost middle in two large end sections. After polishing the cut faces, I kept the smaller 18.32 kg end section for my collection. The holes are up to 4 cm deep and can be used as a perfect working pen holder. The larger end section is within the ETH Zurich meteorite display (Focus Terra Exhibition) since many years.
