Description: Complete, concise instructions for preserving meteorites in collections.
Meteorite Preservation and Repair Meteorite Preservation and Repair Space is dry and that is how you should keep your meteorites. Remember that no matter where you live there is moisture in the air. Your meteorites are especially likely to absorb that moisture if they contain chloride (salt) or change temperature. Changes in temperature can cause condensation like that you will find on a cold can of soda. When salt cakes, it is drawing moisture out of the air. If your meteorite has any salt in it it will draw moisture out of the air. Moisture and salt can damage a meteorite very quickly.
