I will take a slightly different approach to the original question. As a
collector, what was your intent?
If you wanted to display it to enjoy the beauty of a pallasites, then
stability of the specimen is paramount. If you collect pallasites in general
and wanted to add to your collection to occas
Sorry Andrey,
Your small/simple question got hijacked. Some people tend to do this.
I hope, that somewhere in the muddle, your questions where answered.
As you may have deduced -- there's no One answer on the stability of any
meteorite. As Anne stated, there are many variables--where/when found,
This was Mike Farmers exact question which was forwarded to the List:

I was just responding to Mikes post to the List about travel.
Denationalizing millions of acres is meteorite related since it opens
these lands back up to searching.
Are you the second list sheriff or just a deputy?

It is interesting how quickly the price has dropped on this Pallasite,
even in Japan where it was being dumped over the weekend. Now that the
show has ended, it will be interesting what price it brings in Tucson.
I wouldn't pay 20 cents a gram for this material after hearing collector
reports
Adam,
OhhhI thought ther was hope.
I too feel your (and others') pain, paid $2,000 for a Brenham slab that was
beautiful and now is is a bunch of space jewels that will one day be sent to

There is a big difference between a 55 Ford from the dry Southwest and a
55 Chevy from the salt-treated roads of the East coast. My all-time
favorite car is an aluminum 1965 Shelby Cobra 427 SC. The only issue is
electrolysis between steel in contact with aluminum parts which can be
solved wi

I believe it depends on the pieces and where they were found. I understand that
some were found on salt-flats.
I have a couple that I bought in June from Mike Farmer. One was cut in two

I tried to tell people that. But some people want cheap. The rotten small ones
from under the salt lake are a bit of a problem. Luckily 6 trips to Kenya
before anyone every knew it existed allowed my team to acquire metric tons of
the flawless surface material covered in fusion crust.

And when the proper steps are taken to restore and preserve that 55 Ford, it
becomes a prized collectors item.

The fact that dealers are applying sealants and anti-rust coatings to
this Pallasite, like an old 55 Chevy from the East Coast, indicates that
Sericho (Habaswein) is indeed a ruster. I received several reports
today of rusticles, green goo, chemical smells, dislodged crystals and
popping noise
Only time will tell if Sericho is a serious ruster or not. The
fortunate thing is that there is a massive amount available (several
metric tons) so we can check back on it a few years from now and see how
it stands the test of time. A few months is not enough time to make
determinations on it
I got my sealed full slice of Habaswein from Rob many months ago and don't see
a lick of rusting on it. Sealant appears to be working great. :-D
If I were in the market for a specimen, I'd listen to the guy who actually has
experience working with the meteorite in question.

I have extensive experience with Pallasites having collected them since
the 1990s . My all-time favorite is Esquel. The Esquel had a clear coat
finish applied to it and I saw one small rust spot appear. I removed
the coating and polished it properly and it has been trouble-free ever
since.
Not true
I have been selling Sericho since July. The first pieces were expertly prepared
by one of the best in the industry and rusted. I switched cutters to one who
uses chemical cleaning, galvanic cleaning, high polish and etch, and top
quality sealant. Since then there has been one rusted e
My advice is to stay away from any sliced pieces with a lacquer or
clear-coat surface. It is sign that shortcuts were taken in its
preparation. Proper polishing reduces the surface area on cut pieces of
any meteorite aiding in the prevention of "lawrencite disease." Not
only that, these coat
Hi all,
There seems to be some very stable specimens and also some that will
crumble in your hands. It all depends on where it sat for the last
1000 years.

Hello Dear List Members,
Just a small question to new Sericho (was Habaswein) Kenya pallasite
owners, dealers, cutters: how stable is it?
>From my own experience I noticed its extreme degree of instability, similar
to Admire or even more... Is this unlucky piece, just fortuity or is it
really so?
No picture was submitted for today.
