I just saw Jim Wooddell's post about aluminum foil and the new CM fall. It turns out that aluminum foil does react somewhat with carbonaceous chondrite. Apparently the recommended storage material is Teflon. This is what is used in NASA's Lunar Lab (Teflon bags and gloves). Cold and dry (nitrogen) storage are recommended too although if this meteorite has been sitting in the rain, then it may be moot. Take a look at Chris Herd's presentation of lesson's learned from Tagish Lake and Buzzard Coulee:
