Greetings all, I am thinking of introducing a product to help keep meteorites dry. I'll go into more details when I have the product ready for shipping.
I was wanting input from collectors about using some blue crystals (with chloride) with white crystals. The idea is to know when to charge or dry your desiccant. While it might seem a bad idea to use the blue crystals, it has been my experience that they won't cause problems as long as they don't come into direct contact with meteorites. I know of several large collections that use this method and I myself have used it with no ill effect. However collectors have the last say by buying a product or not buying a product so your input is important. There are other types of colors that can be used but I wanted to stay away from those for fear of introducing something into the meteorites that could cause problems. Using those other colors would require input from scientists to verify that no harm would be transmitted or absorbed into specimens. The blue white crystals don't seem to be a problem from my understanding. Perhaps when I am ready, some collectors would like to test the product out for me. Your turn. --AL Mitterling ______________________________________________ Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
