Once my meteorite arrives how does one go about determining its oxidation state?

Incidentally, do you ever do "blue print" pictures? In that case the pigment that makes the image contains iron which could be derived from a meteorite too.I do make cyanotypes. I haven't in a while and I don't really know why.
Cool!No real fear. I'm going to proceed slowly, carefully, and as well informed as I can be and hope for the best.
I guess that, since you make your own photographic chemicals that you have some sort of access to chemicals and equipment
(or that, at least, you are not too frightened of them).
Hi Allen, really like your idea of using meteorite iron in the photographic process. I've got meteorite saw dust from cutting brenham pallasites, it is roughly a 50:50 mix of the metal (~90% iron and 10% nickel) and the magnesium/iron/nickel silicates. The saw dust is in mineral oil. I do not know how to convert the metal to the ammonium citrate. But if you can use some of this material i'd be happy to supply it for your project. donDon,
