G'day Anne, Bernd & List,

As Bernd mentioned the first slice took a while to cut. I also remember
hearing that some of the larger slices cut from the huge Mundrabilla masses
took more than a month to complete a single slice!!!

Cheers,

About 8 or 9 slabs were cut from this mass, four of which (about 250 kg
each)
were donated to the Smithsonian Institution, the Academy of Science in
Moscow,
the British Museum in London, and the Australian Museum in Adelaide.

And here is a picture I took a couple years ago of the slice at the
Smithsonian:
