RE: [meteorite-list] Re: Cleaning Meteorites
Ryan, If it's been cut or sliced, it's probably already had cutting coolant (water or oil) and maybe alcohol all over it, so unless it's a pristine specimen, then it's already been subjected to terrestrial water/liquids. Anhydrous Alcohol (99+% ethanol) is best for cleaning since it will pretty well totally evaporate away, unlike distilled water.

Due to the fact that it has 30% water content, I wouldn't use it on any visable metal bearing meteorites. But would it be ok on an achondrite? Any input will be appreciated.

You can buy 99% isopropanol at the drugstore if you look for it. I no longer find it at my local Riteaid but picked up two bottles at Vons before the strike.
