Hi All,

Following on from a recent discussion I am wondering if anyone has had experience of etching pallasites with Ferric Chloride? Apparently there is a risk of leaving dark staining on irons if not washed promptly, but was wondering if there was any danger of staining the olivines in a pallasite.

Has anyone on the list tried it out?

I would be grateful for any advice.
