Humhem...please! No offense. It's absolutely you're private affair, what you're doing with your meteorites. Though in general I think it's a big No-No to manipulate stony meteorites that way, to artificially bleach them. (Just was looking, Bar Keeper Friends main reactive agent is oxalic acid).

Hello listers, I wonder what the institutional curators do to preserve their meteorite specimens? Do they actually do anything, or do they just let the specimens in their care rust away? Many years ago, I saw bags of specimens in the lower basement of the National History Museum in London,

Hi List, Most museums and notable collections realize that proper preparation is the key to preservation. Slices should be polished on both sides to reduce surface area which can and will trap moisture. A properly applied polish is the most important step in preserving any cut meteorite that

Hi folks. I think both sides of this debate have valid points. One might ask: Is the cure worse than the disease? While a 'little' rust doesn't bother me, if my 'patient' is being killed by rust I'll most certainly intervene. A pile of crumbling, rusted fragments is of no value to science
