Hi Ed,
If you would prefer to not use oil or other materials on your meteorites
another way to prevent rust is to store in a dry container. In BC you
probably have high humidity like in the San Francisco area and I find
storage with desiccant and a vapor proof container to be sufficient for most
meteorites.

Subject: [meteorite-list] List of known Rusters?
Does anyone have a list of known Iron meteorite rusters? The sample of
Nantan China I have split into several pieces. I have been using WD40 on
the pieces to retard further problems but this does not work all that
well. Have to repeat this every few weeks!
