[meteorite-list] Patina

[Metorman46 at aol.com]

Hello Gary,Walter;
 
I found a wire wheel for my 4"side grinder and that thing really gets the  
job done.But if you ever try to use one,be sure to use safety goggles.That  
grinder turns many r.p.m.'s and can throw little wires at escape  
velocity.Seriously the wire wheel does shed wires.Good luck.
 
The patina i personally like is natural and brushed both.Ninninger  
instructed collectors to soak the iron meteorite in oil before cleaning ( a lot  less 
dust to deal with i think ) and i tried it.It worked good on a limonite  
covered campo i acquired years ago.
 
Best regards;Herman.
