Hi Adam,
Have you tried applying a dry polish first to see if it helps stabalize things?
Just
inquiring.

Hi Gary and List,
This is a tough question to answer because each meteorite is different. In
all cases that involve liquid polishing it is good to use distilled water or
oil starting with coarse grits and going finer until the desired contrast is
reached. I start with 180, then 220, then 360, then
Hi Adam:
Good comments here. Personally, I like to have one surface of my slices
not polished. I find that I can see different structures within the
meteorite this way. High polish "looks better", but is not necessarily
the best way to study a specimen. Some meteorites I find better left
unp
Thanks Adam,
Good info - and it brings up yet another [which is probably in the archive
somewhere] and

Hi List,
It is my belief that 90% of the preservation of meteorites is in the
preparation. Meteorites should never be cut with tap water becuase it
contains chemicals that start reactions, mostly corosive in nature! Any cut
meteorite containing elemental metal should be polished on both sides to

...keep them humidity free.
Smaller slices of stone meteorites i keep in boxes with
a few silica gel balls. 869 shouldn't rust then.

And that brings to the front the next obvious question. How would you properly
perserve
slices of NWA 869 and such?

I second this method; it leaves you with a nice looking and less rusty
campo.

Hi Gary,
I give my "gentle" rusters an occasional brushing with a wire brush to
remove scale. Then I spray them with Sheath, an excellent preservative that
dries relatively quickly and doesn't have a strong odor. Sheath can be
found at Gander Mt. (maybe Cabelas). It's used to protect and preserve
