Francesco and All,
I understand where you're coming from. You have a pallasite slice/end
cut that apparently was not cut properly. By that I mean, the final
prep work so you have some moisture trapped inside the item which has

Depending on the pallasite (is the cost of rehabilitation worth it) and the
extent of rust damage, you can pursue different options. If there is rust
between the olivines and iron, you will likely have to use an electrolytic
process. KD Meteorites are the experts in doing this. If it is just a l
