G'day,
I've got a 1kg & 3kg individual. They have shown a little
spot of rust here and there but a brief Sodium Hydroxide bath worked a treat.
This one is no-where near as bad Nantan & Campo. Only thing is though, it
still hasn't been voted on by the Nom Com to my knowledge. Anyone heard if it's
supposed classification has been confirmed?
Cheers,

Hey, Is Dronino from the same parent body of Nantan? Can you
imagine, a
great asteroid made of rust!
Thanks, Tom
