While I don't usually handle my chondrites with bare fingers, they have all passed through long chains of custody before I bought them, and it would be sad to watch oxide stains spreading through the matrix and black fusion crusts turning brown.</P> <P>Also, does anyone ever use VCI paper with their chondrites? Am I currect in assuming that it may retard oxidation of metal that is exposed to the air?</P> <P>Sincerely,</P> <P>Stephen McMann</P></DIV> <DIV></DIV></div><br clear=all><hr> <a href="http://g.msn.com/8HMBENUS/2740??PS=">Take advantage of our limited-time introductory offer for dial-up Internet access.</a> </html> Received on Mon 05 Jan 2004 04:25:39 PM PST |
