Hi Ed,
I've treated all my metallic meteorites with "Rig". It is a rust
preventative used for guns. Of all the meteorites treated with "Rig",
none have shown any evidence for rust. I've had them for about 4
years....not a speck of rust. I have one Campo that was pretreated by the
seller with some sort of dark colored supposed protectant, and it has
slowly started to rust away. I figure that Campo will be almost
completely rusted in another 5 years. I wish the seller had just left it
alone, and I would have treated it with "Rig", and it would not have had
any rust on it.
One problem with "Rig". I don't think it's manufactured anymore. Too
bad....the stuff REALLY prevents rust, and you can't even tell it's on the
meteorite. You just apply a thin coat (it's a type of grease, but
disappears when applied). The meteorites are not oily at all after
treatment. Once I run out of the stuff, then I'm in the same boat as
everyone else.
Regards,
Greg Lindh

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!
