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

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

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. Additionally,

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

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

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?
