Re: [meteorite-list] What's with these weird Campos?

Be it remembered that it is not so much water but salt/chlorine that affects stability. I imagine that the expansion differences in iron oxide and native metal when placed in liquid nitrogen is an effective spalder for knocking off the shale portions and carrying away the chlorine ions. It is l

Re: [meteorite-list] What's with these weird Campos?

They're actually pretty stable, I've had some in a drawer for 2 years and they're still shiny metallic. If you'd like them to tarnish you can leave them outside for a few months. -YvW On Wed, Jan 19, 2011 at 9:18 PM, Bob King wrote: > Thanks everyone for all your replies. OK, so they appear to

Re: [meteorite-list] What's with these weird Campos?

Thanks everyone for all your replies. OK, so they appear to be blown up Campos. If true, they must have looked a lot more like shrapnel with sharp edges.

They've been coming out for a few years, you can get them by the kilo at Tucson. Basically they've "exploded" a campo through some method and then polished/oiled the fragments lightly. Many of them have nice iron crystal structures. They're fun pieces! I've heard various theories on how they were

Hi everyone, This has been bugging me a while, but I've noticed lots of smaller Campo del Cielos on eBay recently that look like very melted Sikhote-Alins.
