[meteorite-list] nitol

[Desmond Lee]

hi, all,   I got some suspected iron meteorites.  I want to try to etch them. Does anyone know other easy methods to etch instead of using nitric acid?  I find it difficult to buy nitric acid and quite danger to handle myself.   Could anyone tell me other methods? Any existing spying chemicals or solutions that I can buy easily and less harmful?   Thanks   Desmond   --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
