Here is my 11 gram unpolished full slice of a Gold Basin meteorite that I got from Jim Kriegh and Twink Monrad. It is FeNi and troilite-rich. It has a light dark mottled appearance and a drillhole because it was meant to be used as a pendant but I preferred to add it to my Gold Basin collection instead of wearing it around my neck.

That was before we knew that a proper nice thin diamond blade would leave no saw marks, I can't believe that we thought they were just fine that way..until we were educated on proper saw blades and the way they should look!
