[meteorite-list] Membrane boxes go boom?

[Frank Cressy]

Hi Tracy,

I had the membrane in one small box degrade and get very cloudy over a eight 
year (or so) period.  I was storing small mineral crystals in it. I think it was 

a result of heat as it was kept in my office where the AC is turned off on the 
weekends and it gets a little toasty here in the summer in Bakersfield.  I've 
seen nothing with any meteorite specimens stored this way, but there are stored 
in a more temperature environment. 

All the best,

Frank

I am observing something weird with some of my older membrane boxes.  The 
membrane is starting to degrade and go cloudy, and in at least one specimen 
(Imilac, bought at Tucson, I forget the year) the membrane has ruptured and the 
slice is rattling around loose in the box.  Has anyone else had this happen to 
their specimens?

Best!
