Truly a brilliant choice for the cover illustration. Thank you Derek and Michael
for sharing a preview with us. I have no doubt that the new editors will
continue to provide the community with an excellent product, and I may encourage
everyone to offer them all the support they need.

Does anyone have a list of known Iron meteorite rusters? The sample
of Nantan China I have split into several pieces. I have been using
WD40 on the pieces to retard further problems but this does not work
all that well. Have to repeat this every few weeks!

Hi Ed,
If you would prefer to not use oil or other materials on your meteorites
another way to prevent rust is to store in a dry container. In BC you
probably have high humidity like in the San Francisco area and I find
storage with desiccant and a vapor proof container to be sufficient for
I have a Nantan and it is perfect, end cut with an etched face. It was cut at
least 4 years ago. Just depends on the piece and definitely how it was prepared
(if cut).

Hi Ed and Listees!
We had this discussion at the biggest German Met-Forum
(Meteorite-Mineral-Gold-Forum)some time ago. One of our members has created
a list of Roster-Levels which uses the knowledge and experience of all
members so far.
See here (please scroll down to answer #73):
Hi Ed and all,
This has been discussed before and I believe the consensus was that WD40 can
have moisture in it that will promote rust. It depends on the batch but
there is varying degrees of water contained in this lubricant. It might not
be so good for Nantans but more stable irons like
A great gun oil to use is G96. Unlike many of the others it does not have the
odor many have and it leaves less of an oily feeling on the meteorite. Not too
easy to find but Google it to find mail order suppliers.
Maybe the mineral dealers from China can start using it. Too often their
I wouldn't use WD40 on any mets, as it contains water and smells. Like Al
mentioned, a good low viscosity gun oil like Remington Rem-Oil wipes work well
without any aroma. As an added bonus the application wipes clean mets while
lubricating them.
Also, as Matt mentioned, there are problem
The formula for WD40 is secret. however...
...WD-40 literally stands for Water Displacement, 40th attempt...

WD40 does not contain water... ;)Wouldn't it seem counter intuitive to
add water to a product which displaces water?

Back in 1992 I did see a video of the field interview with the boy (through an
interpreter) made by Hans Betlem, who did te field research at Mbale.

Hi Ed,
I've treated all my metallic meteorites with Rig. It is a rust
preventative used for guns. Of all the meteorites treated with Rig, none
have shown any evidence for rust. I've had them for about 4 yearsnot a
speck of rust. I have one Campo that was pretreated by the seller
Hello All,
I can't speak for its effectiveness, but Rig Universal Grease is still
available:
Hello Jason, and all,
I certainly agree with you when it comes to Dronino and Nantan, I have
heard them called temporary meteorites and that does fit quite well.
However I have right here a slice of Brenham about a foot across, it came
from an old collection and it was cut/polished by Al Lang
Hi Anne
I am sure it was from Al's nearly perfect prep work and it may have been one of
the early masses found in drier areas.
I have a super Nantan endcut and a pretty nice Brahin (both several years ago)
and 2 year old Fukang slices with no rust. When I choose pieces I look for ANY
evidence
I think It has a lot to do with both the Brenham specimen and the
preparator.
While in Kansas I saw a several year old Brenham endcut in the home of Jerry
Calvert, no preservation I am aware of.
And then there's Mike Miller who has done magic with the 200 pound Brenham I
am selling large

Hi Tim,
I live in Prescott Valley, AZ. That definitely helps in preventing rust, I'm
sure. All I can say is, the Campos, Sikhote-Alins, Canyon Diablos,
Muonionalustas, etc. that I've treated with Rig look fine. Those that
weren't treated I've given away, except one Campo that I've
Thanks Ed,
I'll have to stock up on it. I was told by several local gun shops that it
was no longer produced. I thought I did a Google search on it, but I guess I
didn't. The main thing I want it for is metal meteorites. I can use various
other products on my weapons.
Thanks again,
