I know this was discussed a few years ago on the list but could you address which might better for meteorites in terms of curation. If I recall, there was some concern about the padding used in the non-membrane type boxes being potentially harmful to meteorites.
actually, i thought there was some issue with the membrane boxes in terms of the plastic keeping any moisture locked up against the surface when you store slices in them? I know i have purchased some slices that went into membrane boxes and later showed rust where half individuals from the same source didnt show any rust when stored simply on a shelf. i know this is hardly a scientific comparison though, but FWIW.... i wonder if the plastic in a membrane box could somehow be impregnated with that VCI stuff....
