[Nhcoll-l] thoughts on "Pyrite Stop" product?

[Dee Stubbs-Lee]

Apologies for cross posting.

A colleague in our Geology and Palaeontology section has asked my opinion on a new product that has come to his attention that is being marketed as preventing or correcting pyrite disease (www.zoicpalaeotech.co.uk/products/pyrite-stop<https://www.zoicpalaeotech.co.uk/products/pyrite-stop>). As my experience with mineralogical collections is quite limited, I would like to get thoughts from colleagues on the listserv about the product's suitability for use with pyritic materials in museum mineralogical collections, particularly where both environmental control in collections storage and laboratory ventilation are sub-optimal.

Thank you,
Dee
