Dear concerned,
    I would not use "sponge" as it usually contains
vinyl chlorides which will oxidize iron with water
vapor present. Cotton in my humid climate...even
paper...is a no no because it tends to absorb water in
my climate in Tokyo. Good luck! Dirk Ross.Tokyo

Vapor-proof boxes with silicon desiccant are most
likely required, but highly depends on the meteorite
case by case.
