All of the Henbury specimens in the following photographs are natural,
as field collected circa 1971, except items ME-607 K and U. Items K and U have been
cleaned to remove the thin, natural reddish-brown outer oxide layer found on all Henbury
specimens. The cleaning process exposes the very fresh, bright metallic nickel-iron of the
Henbury medium octahedrites, and greatly enhances their visual appeal, for exhibit.
Price schedule:
Natural specimens: less than 99 grams +/- $1.25 / gram
over 100 grams +/- $1.20 / gram
Cleaned specimens: add 05 cents per gram
NOTE: Any of the natural specimens weighing over 100 grams can be custom cleaned for you.
As you can see, there is a major difference in the appearance between the natural, and the
cleaned specimens! Since the oxide layer is quite thin on Henbury irons, a very minimal
amount of weight loss is experienced in the cleaning process -- usually less than .50 gram
on the smaller specimens, up to only 1.0 to 2.0 grams on the larger pieces.
