Hello Group,
I am new to meteorite collecting and have just
purchased my first meteorite.
I purchased a 5.81kg NEW CAMPO meteorite! Since it is large specimen I will be using it as my center (main show) piece. I have checked on the internet about taking care of
meteorites and found:
http://www.alaska.net/~meteor/preserv.htm As a Newbie I have a few questions: How often should I apply Mineral Oil? (every 6-12 months?) Do you prefer Mineral Oil over Sheath, and Rust GuardIt, WD40? Should I apply the mineral oil to my finger and then to the meteorite, or would you recommend applying it to a a paper towel and then the meteorite? Should I EVER use 95+% ethyl alcohol to clean my New Campo? Where do I go to purchase a Plexiglass container? (Walmart, rock shop, hardware store?) Where do I purchase desiccants? (hardware store?) Sorry for all newbie questions, but I want to do this right. I don't want my center piece rusting. Kevin Heider
