I second Tim's request for information.? I also have a nice slice of Muonionalusta, that I purchased from a list member, that is showing signs of rust around the edges.? This piece is not displayed, and is kept in "air-tight" plastic container with dessicant, yet still is showing the tell-tale signs.? Any suggestions for removing and/or preventing rust without damaging or altering the specimen would be greatly appreciated by many on the list.

I have 2 pallasites that are starting to show signs of rusting, an Admire and Fukang. Can someone please tell me what I can do to stop the rusting. Is there a way to clean them up and seal it against any further rusting.? I willing to try anything new that might work. Any ideas? I live in St.Louis, its very humid here, I know this might be hard to stop.
