Meteorites

I traded for some meteorites a while back thinking that I would use some of the material in my knives.
However, like the dog that caught the car, I now don't know what to do with them.

My designs don't lend themselves to much embellishment, and my tooling would turn 40-50% of the precious material into dust.

I thought I'd offer them here.

The first:
Sikhote-Alin specimen, Russia, 1949, Iron, 82 grams, un-cut
(roughly 1" x 2" x 1/2")(thumb sized)

The second:
Campo del Cielo specimen, Argentina, 1576, Iron, 656 grams, un-cut
(roughly 3" x 2 3/4" x 2")(tennis ball sized)

Value is very subjective. They were priced at $499 and $116 respectively. I traded off $450 in knives for them in a package deal (at retail price).
I will entertain any offers.

Provenance and displays are included.
