I wonder what they did with it? Melt it down to make pick-axes?
It's an awesome display to visit.

"Large swaths of Caucasians usually have a big building in the middle somewhere, with a shitload of other people's shit."
Of course it's in NYC. When I saw your link, I thought, "I grew up in Oregon; how have I not seen this‽"
Something tells me those pick axes always strike true, and are the only axes capable of harvesting mithreil.
And could only be lifted by worthy miners!
As someone else posted, NYC has it in a museum. It looks more egg-shaped there.
We must assist Gimley in retrieving enough to forge us some truestrike stardust axes.
