Hi List. I purchased a 15 gm piece of Miles (which I think is one of the
prettiest meteorites visually internally when sliced) I of course inspected
all surfaces and edges for rust. Looked very clean. Buying from a reputable
collector/dealer I assumed this specimen was treated or at the very least
passed USDA inspection, sort a speak! Anyways about 3 years later I noticed
my white cotton in my gem jar to have a discoloration. Upon inspection when
I opened the gem jar and inspected the Miles on the backside it had cracked
and was rusting like a severed vain!! All I could think was maybe it had
Lawrencite disease. Since this is not covered under my Health coverage,
Miles remains in my collection until I can replace it. This is the only
piece of over 220 specimens in my collection to show any signs of
deterioration. I even have a 300 gm complete stone of Nantan that looks
fresh as the day I bought it over 5 years ago.Just my 2 cents worth is all.
Sincerely
Don Merchant

Hi,
I got my slice of Mont Dieu nearly 4 years ago.
It was a little bit rusty on the rims.
I did a new polish, a new etch and since that
it rests in my collection and it shows no further activity in rusting.
By the way, I keep my collection room dehumidified.
here's a pic of the slice:

Dear, I give up rusters. I'm perplexed at the people who have given up!
Why can I solve the problem of continued corrosion and you can't?
I'm not magic and I can understand the cause of corrosion. Why doesn't
anybody start thinking what causes rust? OPEN conversation invited!
