[QUOTE="the-craig, post: 11548887, member: 96489"]I had misplaced it, but found it today, it definitely has no iron in it I tested it with a hard drive magnet. It was not cut it's cracked, I can tell because it's jagged and not a straight line, and if you squeeze it it meshes together perfectly. I have used a jeweler's saw and nippers and know what both would do to it. The gap is either because there was tension on it from when it was cast, or it spread from being forced open. It looks like it's going to remain enigmatic.[/QUOTE]
