PostPosted: Sep 15, 2012 14:47    Post subject: Break open or not?  
I have a couple of these huge specimens, I'm not even sure what to call them (cookeite?). They weigh a bit over 5 lbs. each. I'm wondering if I should break them open and what the odds are that there may be something inside. Would the specimen be worth anything to a collector as a whole large piece? It appears to have tons of little pockets and micro minerals.....
