[meteorite-list] Cleaning stony meteorites
Hello all and good day I have some uNWA’s that have rust or a rust color in the crust. This is not fresh crust. I would like to remove the rust and or rust color from the surface of these meteorites. I have also read a post that stated there is a chemical way to the original crust? Any help would be appreciated. I am familiar with working on meteorites as far a cutting, polishing and etching. Thanks in advance for your help. Griff Parker, Colorado, USA IMCA 2510 __ HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!

[meteorite-list] Cleaning Stony Meteorites
Hi, all, I've read several articles on cleaning and preserving meteorites, but they seem to focus on irons and pallasites with rust. Does anyone have a tip on cleaning stony meteorites - specifically the desert sand caked on the surface (scale?). I've been using dental picks under a microscope, which works, but very time consuming. I was wondering if a product like CLR or Limeaway would work without harming the meteorite.
