Re: Cleaning and preserving meteorite collections



hello Jim
here's a few suggestions on preservation;
contact Cole-Parmer (800)323-4340 for a copy of their full catalog.  They have a large selection of desiccator cabinets, the smallest being a stackable 9"Wx7"Hx9"D clear, sealable cabinet for $99 each. They also have a selection of solid rechargeable desiccants that can yield an extremely pristine environment in a closed space.
Edmund Scientific's (800)728-6999 makes a small digital Hygrometer for monitoring relative humidity for about $30.
I have found Sheath at "The Sports Authority" and "Walmart". It works very well on irons.
I have just finished making an Oak display cabinet 2'Wx3'Hx7"D.  It has a fully gasketed door, glass shelves, a mirrored back (inside), and a hidden area for desiccant.  I'm just waiting on the tempered glass panel for the door to finish it.  Total cost of materials was under $300.  Feel free to contact me for further details.

Best regards,
Bill Camp
