First remove any surface rust by sanding, buffing or with BKF (barkeepers friend). Second, soak the meteorite in "Kano Kroil" penetrating oil for at least 8 hours. I use this product in my manufacturing business and it has prevented rusting of metal parts that I keep in cold storage for years. Here's a link to there site: _http://www.kanolabs.com/_ (_http://www.kanolabs.com/_ (http://www.kanolabs.com/) ) Third, dry the piece with a cloth. The oil tends to bleed out of pallasites for days because of all there crevices. Fourth, I apply a coat of automotive paste wax. I prefer a brand called "Mothers" but I believe any quality brand would work just as well. Lastly, I only openly display my etched irons and pallasites during the dry winter months. I live in northern Illinois and the summer humidity can get high. In summer I store these in plastic bags with desiccant and also use a few mini dehumidifiers. _http://www.amazon.com/Remington-Model-365-Mini-Dehumidifier/dp/B0028M3YU6/r ef=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=home-garden&qid=1268267140&sr=8- 3_ (_http://www.amazon.com/Remington-Model-365-Mini-Dehumidifier/dp/B0028M3YU6/ ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=home-garden&qid=1268267140&sr=8-3_ (http://www.amazon.com/Remington-Model-365-Mini-Dehumidifier/dp/B0028M3YU6/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s= home-garden&qid=1268267140&sr=8-3) ) I treated my 248 gram Admire over a year ago and it has been rust free ever since. Cheers, Jim K In a message dated 10/25/2010 7:04:55 P.M. Central Daylight Time, [email protected] writes: Hello List Members, I was hoping someone could help me with this one. I have 2 pallasites that are starting to show signs of rusting, an Admire and Fukang. Can someone please tell me what I can do to stop the rusting. Is there a way to clean them up and seal it against any further rusting. I willing to try anything new that might work. Any ideas? I live in St.Louis, its very humid here, I know this might be hard to stop.
