[meteorite-list] Gold-plated Gibeon on eBay

[Mark Ford]

Err. .. Why would anyone gold plate an iron?? 

I can just about take people making jewelry, watch dials, dog statues,
spheres, knives, coins, medals, out of space rocks if they must,  but
gold plating!?? Hell you might as well just paint them with hammerite
paint!!

Humans eh, I give up.

Subject: [meteorite-list] Gold-plated Gibeon on eBay

Hello all,
Speaking of odd meteorite goings-on on eBay, some of you have probably
noticed the gold-plated Gibeon slices for sale. The description says
that the plating will prevent the meteorite from ever rusting. I know
Gibeon is generally not a ruster (not exclusively though, and I've got
a problem slice to prove it) but I'm skeptical of the claims. Is there
any truth to the plating process being effective?
Thanks,
Bob
