[meteorite-list] bleeding in stoneys
Hi list.I got a unclassed 82 gram endcut that bleeds. I know we have gone down this road before,but what really causes this?

At least you do not see the face of The Virgin Mary... that really is unexplainable.

Re: [meteorite-list] bleeding in stoneys
Probably the cutter committed one or two cardinal sins : 1) used anything other than distilled water as a saw coolant 2) didn't bake the specimen immediately after cutting to purge remnant moisture. Now the specimen is probably suffering from the after-effects of chlorine contamination. That's my guess.

This a fairly common phenomenona seen in Roman Catholic and Greek Orthodox stoneys, it's called stigmeteorata. - If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate.

Re: [meteorite-list] bleeding in stoneys-- Lawrencite Disease
Sorry to hear you pet is ill, Steve. This sounds like Lawrencite Disease. It is contagious and your pet should be quarantined and handled only with latex or cotton gloves as it is a condition you can inadvertently transfer to healthly members in the cage. This comes from the mineral lawrencite: Iron Nickle Chloride. (Fe, Ni) Cl2 is a loosely bonded molecule that is in constant exchange: chlorine gives up its iron ion to the hydroxal ion then goes and gets another iron or nickle atom-- which it will also be lost to water from the air. The chlorine ions are hygroscopic: that is they pull water out of the atmosphere. The H2O binds with the iron to form iron oxide aka rust and the H2 is liberated as gas. The chlorine ions are a catalyst-- they are not consumed in the continuous reaction like other chemical reactions are. The also won't wash away easily. Therefore minor chlorine contamination can consume an entire meteorite over time. Interesting to note, the mineral lawrenceite, was originally identified in one of the iron meteorites from Alabama in the late 1877 http://webmineral.com/data/Lawrencite.shtml From the mineral data page on lawrencite: Comments: Capillary tube of lawrencite solution with opaque oxidized precipitates, derived from hydrosocpically absorbing water from the air by solid lawrencite, collected from an oozing meteorite. I think camel sweat is certainly a potential source of chlorine ions not to mention random handling with bare hands. This must be kept in mind when adopting NWAs. The lawrencite appears in solution as an ooze. It has high surface tension and the smaller blobs are typically a golden iridescent ovoid. When I first found them on my specimens I thought they were insect eggs. Yes, the treatment is to completely go through the cycle of washing, soaking in sodium hydroxide, washing again and drying, etc. Good Luck.
