I want to throw that into a smelter full of steel and then forge a sword imbued with the essence of 'Genocide-r of the Thunder-lizards"!

It might make a nice pommel stone?

pommel stone?

Wait, What? You can get high from this stuff?

Little rock on the sword end, not a hot rock

In Colorado one I saw a letter opener made from meteorite. It looked amazing… soooo tempting…

I was expecting something larger.

Tutankhamun would have agreed.

You know @Tamsin_Bailey is reading this thread, right?

Turns out, the scientists may also have found a minuscule fragment of that asteroid encased in a bit of amber.

Excellent - if we can combine it with frog DNA we can breed a whole new asteroid and set up a theme park.
