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.
