[meteorite-list] Cleaning Stony Meteorites

[Pete Pete]

Hi, all,

I've read several articles on cleaning and preserving meteorites, but they 
seem to focus on irons and pallasites with rust.

Does anyone have a tip on cleaning stony meteorites - specifically the 
desert sand caked on the surface (scale?).

I've been using dental picks under a microscope, which works, but very time 
consuming.

I was wondering if a product like CLR or Limeaway would work without harming 
the meteorite.

Cheers,
Pete
