If you think it might be m-rite then ironout or pool acid will etch it for you.
Could be "man made" ferromanganese too.
Yes, your diamond saw will slab it.

I wondered if this material was able to be slabbed with diamond blades? And what type of acid wojld etch it, to see if that unusual pattern that is found in space rocks. If so would make some nice cabbs. If it's actual m'ites then it's worth far far more uncut

Wow. That is interesting. Thank you. Now I'm off to OZ to ask the great wizard for a brain. I'll be doing some more research now. Feels like you gave me home work. If it is a type of iron-nickle or nuckle-iron can it be cut with a diamond blade? I would hate to ruin my blade.

Would be to cool. And offer a piece up to the RTH. Have you or Jennie cut up that purple rock I sent you?
