I'm not positive on this one, but I believe their being tumbled. I
picked up a piece of shrapnel in Tucson that had two weird looking
spheres embedded to it, and when I inquired about them I was told they
were beads from the cleaning process. They came off with a little
pressure.

Ruben, please attach a photo maybe? All the SA's today recently
arrive all soaked in black dirty t-fluid, quite a tussle. My best
specimens never were, and it's why they are my best and will forever
remain in my collection. I'd love to see the condition you are
referring to. Dremmel tool?

Subject: [meteorite-list] Cleaning Sikhote Alin meteorites
Hi all,
I just bought some very nice SA's but they are not cleaned like the
others we are used to seeing. Anyone know how they clean SA
meteorites? I am quite sure it is not a wire brush.... as the other
SA's are cleaned in all the cracks and crevasses. A wire brush
couldn't do that.

Rock On!
