Re: [meteorite-list] Etching of large MORASKO
Hi Bernd and all, Nitric acid is bad stuff. It will stain your skin and should only be used with protective gloves and googles. It is a cancer causing material and extream caution should be used at all times with this acid.It also tends to explode when mixed with different items. Other than that, it is great for etching meteorites. I have never any problems with nitric acid. For me it work excelent instead of other methods. -[ MARCIN CIMALA ]-[ I.M.C.A.#3667 ]- http://www.Meteoryty.pl marcin(at)meteoryty.pl http://www.PolandMET.com marcin(at)polandmet.com http://www.Gao-Guenie.com GSM: +48 (793) 567667 [ Member of Polish Meteoritical Society ] --AL Mitterling Quoting Bernd V.

Re: [meteorite-list] Etching of large MORASKO
I agree with Bernd, must have been a phantastic experience, Marcin. Thanks for sharing it with us. Somehow alchemistic, eh? I also understood: Morasko - new classification :-) Best, Matthias - Original Message - From: Bernd V.

Re: [meteorite-list] Etching of large MORASKO
Hi, Marcin. Thanks for sharing the video. If you think that etch was fast you should try some ferric chloride; this 7 minute etch would have probably taken less than 60 seconds!

This is good to show how the whole etching go in real time to someone who never tryed this. And this size of specimen. I use normall 20% solution, and efect was very nice and fast. Outside in sun etched surface was beautifull. We had a lot of fun joking in the background.
