So Martin,

Is there anything that can be done by oil damage from materials other than putty (like vegetable or cooking oil)?

Thanks,
Mark

Erik,

please never use putty for meteorites.
Especially not with stone meteorites.

The oils and softeners of these putties, even if recommended by mineral
people, are going with time deep into the stone, making huge blackish
irreversible stains.

I had some customers, who ruined half of their collections and unfortunately
many historic pieces among them, having them fixed with putty in their
boxes.

Best,
Martin
