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

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

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