For those people who deplore cutting up meteorites (even the NWA XXX
relatively common ones) and using them for sculptures, knife handles, etc...

If you have a quantity of mixed meteoric dust, why not mix it with resin and
make a solid block of meteorite-dust-impregnated plastic? Something like
that would still have the cachet of meteorite, but be much less of a loss to
science, and you could still carve it, form it, create all kinds of neato
stuff. There is a RPG game supplier who offers carved meteorite dice at
$100 each. I'd much rather pay $10 for one cast out of dust and plastic.
