Spec. A 'other end'
WHAT NEXT?:The specimen has been placed in safe keeping. Prof Weiblen suggests that a slice be made and provided to a researcher who can determing the precise composition. The specimen has a beautiful patina; some commercial sellers remove the patina (usually an unattractice black) and sell the result as bright polished silver. The patina was caused by oxidation during contact with the earth's atmosphere and our sample has a beautiful natural patina. You will also see the 'thumb prints' on its surface, also caused by actual melting of the meteor.
