Hi List,
I recently picked up a unique shaped campo that I like very much, but it has
some surface
rust on it. Should I leave it? 'Dry' brush it and leave it?Brush it and
lightly oil
it? If oil, is there a preference? I don't want to devalue this piece by
mistreating
it.
Thanks,

Hi List,
It is my belief that 90% of the preservation of meteorites is in the
preparation. Meteorites should never be cut with tap water becuase it
contains chemicals that start reactions, mostly corosive in nature! Any cut
meteorite containing elemental metal should be polished on both sides to

Hi Adam:
Good comments here. Personally, I like to have one surface of my slices
not polished. I find that I can see different structures within the
meteorite this way. High polish looks better, but is not necessarily
the best way to study a specimen. Some meteorites I find better left
Hi Gary and List,
This is a tough question to answer because each meteorite is different. In
all cases that involve liquid polishing it is good to use distilled water or
