[meteorite-list] [Meteorites] do have a question. how many people would call it...

Well, if it is your intention to have these used as educational
materials,
then you would want to present these in the most naturial way possible.
If you want to make a quick buck, then by all means, mess them up with
oil.
For the sake of the students who will benifit from these kits, stick to
a method
that will stick in their minds as outstanding teaching aids. I do a lot
of 
outreach, using my collection for teaching aids. I can tell you from
firsthand
experience that natural is by far the prefered way.

Yes oil would impregnate the material and forever darken it a little but it makes polishing so much easier, protect the specimens from rusting, and save me a bunch of time since I am doing it by hand. (or on a massive flat metal wheels which I would use water with). These are for sample sets for education purposes.
