[meteorite-list] I have a problem with some rusting meteorites

[Rob Lenssen]

I'm surpriced nobody mentioned this galvanic cleaning method: 
http://www.meteoritemarket.com/Galvanic.pdf

Worked well for me on Brahin (treated more than a year ago) + am using it on 
a slice of Dronino for about a week now.
Wouldn't use it on fresher stones though. These I store in airtight boxes 
with silicagel.
