 10/23/2019 12:39:46 PM		 Has anyone cut and polished the Niger finds to see how nice of Pallasite it is? Is it Sericho-like or less, or better...like towards an Imilac level? As for stable/problematic or not, can that be determined by looking at it from the outside, or if NICE when looking at the inside with a cut ? Some Fukang slices looked beautiful when first offered, then some for sure quickly fell apart.

Needs a very dry inert environment if it is to survive methinks....or some preservation techniques.
