Hi Anne list,
Has anyone tried camphor blocks?
I have used it for preventing rust on tools in the past but don't know if it
would be a good idea to try it on meteorites.

Dear List Members,
I have 90 different meteorites running, all started at just 99 cents with no
reserves. 54 auctions are due to end this afternoon. I loaded several OLD

items that have not been seen on eBay for years or have never been offered at
all. 36 of these are the VERY LAST I
Hello List. Regarding Dronino, Mike Miller has done some great work for me
over the past few years, and he recently resurfaced a large 2Kgram slice for
me and the work is remarkable. Now with beautiful rust-free inclusions and
no sign of regression... although I do keep it wrapped in
One thing you will want to stay away from is lacquer. Some dealers in the past
didn't know any better and used to coat meteorites with lacquer, especially
rusters. This doesn't allow the meteorite to breath and traps moisture inside
the piece, accelerating the oxidation process. A few also
Hi everyone,
I've had great luck with the Campos from Bob Cucchiara (meteorite
madness on eBay). I hand them out all the time to students. The only
preservation I use is a spray for guns called Barricade available at
Gander Mt. outdoors stores. It works well. I also still have an intact

The Geminids are my favorite, he explains, because they defy
explanation.
Most meteor showers come from comets, which spew ample meteoroids for a
night of 'shooting stars.' The Geminids are different. The parent is not
a comet but a weird rocky object named 3200 Phaethon that sheds
Dear List,
Today I would like to offer a fantastic sculptured Mundrabilla Meteorite.
Most Mundrabillas offered today are under 100g and no one has a fantastic
shape like this one.
Even if you are not in the buy modus, you should take a look at this
outstanding specimen.
The Meteorite is sold, thanks a lot.

Hi Bob and List,
Then there are the chondrites that get tears
in their eyes (bleed). Dhofar 10 comes to mind.
.. Oh well, yes! My Dhofar 10 endcut that I purchased in 2001
kept bleeding / oozing for years until it finally surrendered about
two years ago. No more chloride tears left! It's been

There seems to be conflicting 'reads' on these two meteorites:
Campo del Cielo, Argentina
Las Palmas, Argentina
Are they possibly from the same fall,
Hi Jonathan,
I've been told that Las Palmas is different than Campo. I don't know
about the third iron you mentioned. But, Las Palmas has not been
classified or approved yet, so nothing is official yet. The source
that told me is on this list.

Ed,
I will sometimes use WD40 on previously treated/preserved irons, as a
twice-a-year
cleaner/sealer as a rub-down with a clean towel. But, I always heat my
specimens
to ~ 400 F for ~ 20 minutes, prior to every application (let them cool
first... ouch...).
I have noticed two things when
