Re: [meteorite-list] iron meteorite natural color

[MexicoDoug via Meteorite-list]

As hinted to by Marcin, putting a false surface on a meteorite is anything 
except natural!  It would not be an authentic surface.  You could as well 
electroplate it with gold.  Cleaning on the other hand removed the natural 
surface.  IMO if you clean it and get bare metal, it is best to learn to like 
the surface.  If it is too bright, rub it in a little mineral oil under the 
assumption that it is for 'protection' and removable anytime.  That can darken 
it.

Happy Holidays
Doug

Hello, I have a question.As we know an iron meteorite, such like Campo del 
Cielo for example, have a black surface.I have here a deeply rusted Campo, I'm 
planning to remove rust with a sand blasting process.But with this I will 
obtain a greysh surface, like naked iron, the same color of a slice.Not really 
a natural color for the exterior of an iron meteorite and also not aestetically 
pretty, looks too artificial for me.There is something to do for restore the 
original black color?Or it's better to remove the rust with a traditional steel 
brush, maybe with a drill ???Tips for mechanical or chemical process are 
welkomme!!!I can try with the classical NaOh bath, I have also Phosphoric, 
Citric and Oxalic acid :)ThanksxxFrancesco---Questa e-mail è stata

[meteorite-list] Christmas is Coming AD :-)

[KD Meteorites via Meteorite-list]

Hello, Everybody!

Christmas is just around the corner and we have some Stellar
meteorites available. :-) Check out our What's New page for the most
recent additions.

http://kdmeteorites.com/WhatsNewAtKDMeteorites.html

We have several new items and still have some of the spectacular
Timbuktu available as well. What you see on the website is all of that
material that is available - there is no more!

We also have a stunning 15 kilo slab of Glorieta Mountain available -
this is the last remaining slab of the main mass and features flow
lines and regmalyphs. Beautiful! Gorieta is getting harder and harder
to find so add this one to your collection if you want something
outstanding.

http://kdmeteorites.com/GlorietaMountainMeteoriteSlab15Kg.html

Many other great items to choose from, as well as gift certificates
for that hard to buy for friend or family member. :-)

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone and we want to wish everyone a great
Christmas season and a Stellar 2017!

Cheers,
Dana

For the ultimate oriented-look, dear Marcin, it might be recommendable 
to use a chainsaw.

Hah good question Francesco. But what is natural color of meteorite at 
all ? Desert sandblasted NWA is not a real looking meteorite? Should I 
paint them black to be looking like a real meteorites ? Poor Dhofars
This is what Im fighting long time. Strange stereotype that meteorite 
MUST BE BLACK outside, WHY ?


When You like Your girlfrend ? When he smile to You with his pretty 
face or when she put ton of Max Factor chemicals on it??


I have always strange taste, different than most of collectors. For 
me, if specimen have crust must be black or black with rusty patina. 
If meteorite have no more crust like Campo, why to "paint" it to black 
to looks like Sikhote ? Then You will see paint, not Your meteorite. I 
only can imagine what strange things they do to clean Campo and look 
it like that. LOL


OK now a few tips.
As I understand Your Campo is a complete specimen ? To remove deep 
rust You must use electrochemical cleaning + brush + small hammer. 
Then You will get mostly cleaned meteorite with BLACK remains of rust 
that will make Your meteorite looks REAL.Then heat it and put alot of 
oil to make it looks fresh and oriented :)
