Hi List. I purchased a 15 gm piece of Miles (which I think is one of the

Hello Don and list members. Just my two cents here. In my opinion you are
risking rust on any iron meteorite if you just let it sit on display for

The way I see it is there are two issues with rusting:
1) water/chlorine oxygen that is in the meteorite when you buy it, Often
due to etching in water based etchants or rain damage when it was in the
ground - This causes rusting even if you coat it in varnish since it is
