Let me know what you guys think, I'm considering getting these printed
up as 36x24 wall posters. If I get a good enough response I'll get

specimens to bleach out over time. Especially if you use fluorescent
lighting.
Part of collecting is keeping a watch over specimens and treating them
before they become a big problem. Easier to deal
Hi Jessica,
Muonionalusta tends to rust around the natural outside edges where it was
exposed to the weather before it was sliced. In my experience it won't rust
in the interior of the slice even if you don't treat the outside edges. If
you do treat the outside edges where it rusts, you need

Hi Tim and list,
Here is what I do to stop rust on my Irons and pallasites.
First remove any surface rust by sanding, buffing or with BKF (barkeepers
friend).
Second, soak the meteorite in Kano Kroil penetrating oil for at least 8

Worked well for me on Brahin (treated more than a year ago) + am using it on
a slice of Dronino for about a week now.
Wouldn't use it on fresher stones though. These I store in airtight
Here's another method involving soaking the meteorite in a solution of
sodium hydroxide, easily made from Drano. It comes via Steve Schoner.

Hi List. Mike Miller addressed my larger Dronino slice with fabulous
success...I recommend contacting him for his techniques, or better yet,
asking for him to help. His work is tops (so is your meteorite finding
success, Mike!)
