I started out many years ago as a meteorite hunter, Gold basin in Arizona is where I got my start. With help from family and friends I helped find the Franconia strewn field. I have found many Canyon Diablo Irons, a few on Dry lakes, but that is not where I spent my time. I am best known for my hunting work at Glorieta, where I was truly blessed to find half a dozen big pieces. I have been on successful hunts for fresh falls as well, West Texas which is now Ash Creek. And Coloma CA, which now known as Sutters mill. I hunted Admire and found some of that pallasite, and I have been skunked as many times or more than the rest of the hunters. We are know as meteoritefinder, it is our business name. On E bay we have several names, flattoprocks, new-flatop, flatop-2.All three names sell the same great meteorites, just different stores. We didn't want all of our eggs in one basket.
We are meteorite cutters, we specilize in cutting iron meteorites, but we cut a lot of pallasites as well  now a days. We will cut your meteorites if the conditions are right. If the meteorite is too expensive we are normally not the right cutter and if the meteorite is too common and cheap we are not the right cutter. We normally cut meteorites that are between and per gram. It can vary somewhat, but that is the normal range. We take 30-35% of finished product. Now for a little explanation of how we actually cut and return your material fairly. We do not just pick out the nicest slices for our cutting work. We first grade the material, say if we cut a pallasite. We end up with three or more grades. We hold each piece up to the light and put each grade into a pile, three grades would usually be something like a small pile of wow pieces, a large group of somewhat translucent, or average pieces and then a zero translucent pile. Now we weigh each pile and divide by .30 to get the amount we are owed of each pile. We do not hold them up and grade them again, we simply scoop our weight off the pile, fist the wow pile then the average pile, the the low grade pile. That way you get a fair representation and so do we.
We have an outstanding reputation for preparing material that is stable, we take many steps in our process to ensure that the meteorites we are cutting are as stable as possible when we are finished. There are plenty of things we can do as cutters to stabilizes or ruin meteorites as they are cut and prepared.
