Hi,

You could try the galvanic method of preserving and getting rid of the
chlorides that cause this in the first place...

I have used it successfully on Morasko and Campo slices but have no idea
how the proccess would effect a pallasite.
Still waiting to see how well it worked on my 13kg chondrite.

Ayone else tried it with a Pallasite?.....obviously the main worry is
the loosening of the olivine.

...but then if it is corroding away now you dont have much to loose!

Good luck,

Graham Ensor
