[meteorite-list] RE: POLL: rustiest most unstable known and Munich show

[Don Merchant]

Hi List. I purchased a 15 gm piece of Miles (which I think is one of the 
prettiest meteorites visually internally when sliced) I of course inspected 
all surfaces and edges for rust. Looked very clean. Buying from a reputable 
collector/dealer I assumed this specimen was treated or at the very least 
passed USDA inspection, sort a speak! Anyways about 3 years later I noticed 
my white cotton in my gem jar to have a discoloration. Upon inspection when 
I opened the gem jar and inspected the Miles on the backside it had cracked 
and was rusting like a severed vain!! All I could think was maybe it had 
Lawrencite disease. Since this is not covered under my Health coverage, 
Miles remains in my collection until I can replace it. This is the only 
piece of over 220 specimens in my collection to show any signs of 
deterioration. I even have a 300 gm complete stone of Nantan that looks 
fresh as the day I bought it over 5 years ago.Just my 2 cents worth is all.
Sincerely
Don Merchant
