The last time that I purchased any, it was from Museum Services Corporation/Conservation Emporium.

Subject: calcium carbonate?

Hello All,

Does anyone have any suggestions on where I can purchase museum-quality calcium carbonate for polishing brass? I've looked at the websites of my go-to museum supplies providers and have come up empty. Is the stuff I can buy at my local health food store appropriate for cleaning museum objects, or should I stay away from it?

Thanks!
Amanda
