Hi

I'm new to the list and new to collecting meteorites. I have a number of
hobbies but I've never seen a hobby who strives to keep things as honest as
possible. I have purchased all of my collection from Ebay sales, and I must
admit, the IMCA members are really a good bunch of sellers to be dealing
with. Kudo's to you all.

My question. I have about 500 gr of NWA's, complete meteorites. I cut and
polish stones and use a 6in diamond trim saw for my work. The trim saw is
rated to about a 6.5 Mohr's.

What is the appox. Mohr's of comman NWA's. I want to slice a few open to see
what treasures may be inside, but I don't want to ruin a 25 blade doing it.
