Last night I examined my two inch slice of brahin Pallasite and I've not
loked closely at it for a while. It has developed a crack all along one side
and when I gently applied pressure to the slice it broke in three pieces !!
It's my fave piece and I've not been collecting for long so may have missed
something but I was under the impression that Brahin was pretty stable. Am
I wrong ?
Can anyone offer any advice for the future as to how I should store
pallasites - and other pieces for that matter to prevent decomposure.
Thanks all.

Ian Barrett
