[TheForge] Meteoric iron

[Roger Olsen]

Are you sure you want to change it?  I have a meteorite that my grandmother
dug out of her potato patch when I was but a wee one.  I contemplated for
years what to forge it into but in the end I chose to leave it as the
heavens had made it.  Instead I forged a nice pedestal for it to live on.
I prefer to hold and look at something that is from out of this world and
not changed from the time it arrived.
