[meteorite-list] Subject: Re: Wanted to Buy : Superb Pallasite!

[Wendy Piatek]

I currently house 46 unique pallasites in my collection. And am experienced 
with electrolytic derusting techniques. I must disagree with Tracy and Anne. 
I agree with Mike Farmer. If one has to pick only one pallasite to buy for 
their collection and wants to guarantee long lasting beauty one has to go 
with Esquel . I have over 1.5Kg of Quijingue and it certainly is more prone 
to rust. It is certainly more stable than some but why take even a chance if 
one is on a budget and Esquel exists. If you have only one bullet in your 
gun I would give Bob Haag a call and customize a slice at the best price 
amigos.
I think we need to give better advice to newbies rather than continually try 
and market what is on our sales list.
