Hi all,
If meteorites don't corkscrew then why aren't they all fully orientated?
Surely the fact that they are irregular in shape and show flow lines all
over the place implies that they had a turbulent flight, therefore they
must have spun/spiraled ?
Cheers,
Mark Ford.

Hello List,
Mark's advise is a good one.
Also bear in mind that used up 'wet' silica Gel in an
enclosed space can actually increase the humidity (since damp silica can
dry out giving off water vapor) so recharge it regularly!!.

I would like to reply to the many responses I received when I posted the

1. Our Canadian group did not become involved with the marketing of

I give $100 for a 100 gr. slice of Shirokovsky for put

Dear Museum store and meteorite collectors,
If you like the look of shiny metal chunks with rounded corners
this is great, But when they are done suggest you use some Vapor Phase
Corrosion Inhibitor to prevent rust. Some other person wanted to use
water,(gnaw!) tumble dry. Sieve and use
I have found if you tumble one at a time using walnut shells, not grit, and
keep an eye on them you don't end up with anything shiny, or with rounded
corners, unless they started out that way. Corrosion inhibitor is a good
idea as well.
