At near the price of gold, I tend to avoid risky things
like crapshoots.

Brenham
I have found it to be about 50/50. Some were
found in flooded areas and some in dry areas. It's basically a crap shoot as
to which variety you get. The old Brahin for the most part is very stable. Has
anyone tried any of the chemical treatments previously discussed in
attempt to stabilize the rusters?

I think what Famer means is the later recovered Brahin that has flooded
that market. It is unstable! Or at least the piece I bought is.
A campo slice stood next to my Brahin in my display case. The Campo
has one tiny spot of rust. The Brahin in about 6 months....fell into
three pieces. Rust seems to form in lines that jagged around the
olivine. The Campo rust did not spread. I was told by someone I
wont mention that the nuclear accident was somewhat close to the find spot
and this is the reason. I dont think I believe that but figured I
would share it.
For whatever thats worth,

Hello All!
It seems I am one of the lucky
ones who has got one of these exceptions.
I bought my 195-gram Brenham
slice about 15 years ago and it still looks
exactly the same. It is a
very stable specimen but I must admit though
that I've kept it in one
of my three desiccators most of the time.
Best
wishes,
Bernd
