I know we've discussed the use of meteoric iron over on the Ethnographic side before in relation to Malay keris. Still, this is pretty incredible! I just got back from the Raleigh, NC museum, where a large meteor in the collection was used as a blacksmith's anvil until it was appropriated in the 1930's. Anyway, thought it was a neat discovery!
