Hi list,
Which meteorites would you say are known to be the least susceptible moister and
oxidation? I have two slices of NWA 5234 melted eucrite (one of the prettiest of
meteorites imo) and the material seems very stable - i've had them for over a
year, handled them quite a bit and they show no signs of rusting.. *knocks on
wood*
So I wager it'd be some of the achondrites that have the least amounts of iron
and other components reactive to oxygen... which meteorites are they
(name/designation and class)?
