Hello=20

I was just wondering because my Sikhotes look like they have been trated =
with some kind of wax, or what ever it is.

In the deeper "caves" it looks shiny like wax, with a brownish tone.
First I thought it was a rusty spot that had been treated, but now I am =
not so sure.

My point is that I want them to look "raw" and not like they have been =
dipped in acryl - this goes for all my irons.

The reason why I ask is that I once kept a specimen in a =
zipper-plasticbag...... that was not a good idea !
It started rusting. And now after it has started, it looks like it rusts =
pretty easy...... I dont want that to happen to my newer and bigger =
specimens.

Thanks
Lars Pedersen

  Hello Lars and list,

  Kinda funny you mentioned that. Many of the sikhote sellers seem to =
be selling sikhotes that have some kind of gun like blueing or black =
coating put on them. Personally I don't really see any problem with =
this, but I think I would prefer them not to have the coating. I =
remember seeing some very large Sikhotes either in Tucson or Denver were =
the coating had pooled a little beneath the meteorite. However, two of =
the later ones I have, do not seem to have lost any of their coating =
yet. So I guess I am saying, you might want to see if it has a coating =
already..not that Sikhote is much of a worry.

  Anyone else have any thoughts on the coating on sikhotes we have been =
seeing? Or possibly know what it is?
