Fodder for at least one practical joke.
"That's right. It's the rarest, smoothest, most unusual and elegant type of fulgurite in the world. Worth a fortune. And as you've probably noticed, extremely difficult to damage -- it hardly needed all that packing in the crate to protect it. The institute wants us to trim the end a bit before it's placed on display in a couple of months. Use those snips there, on the marked area. OMG, OMG -- what did you do?! That's not supposed to happen! They haven't even insured it yet. We'll be paying for this the rest of our lives!"
