Its depends of where specimen was found (dry or wet area) and how it was
preserved after cutting.

I have 3kg endpiece of nantan and no rust.

My slices of dronino I have sell on ebay (from 5kg specimen) also are still
stable and I have them (last 3) in cold room, in open air and only with
layer of Balistol (with Morasko and Nantan together).
so I dont know what makes some specimens rust alot and other with only tiny
rust, becouse my pieces was not special in any way.
