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)?
