I have a large Gibeon meteorite that I want to divide into several smaller pieces to use as gifts. I want the fragments to all be about the same size, and want to avoid crushing the meteorite into dust. I don't want to use a hacksaw, since that will leave unnatural surfaces. Does anyone out there have any suggestions as to how I can do this? Thanks, Brian
