[QUOTE="Lefty, post: 100235, member: 2976"] Cheers Piep. There's no shortage of agate lying around where I find that stuff, it's just that the nice orange-red carnelian can be more difficult to spot than the sard because it often has a layer of brown stone around the agate which makes it look like a million other brown stones. It's only if that agate nodule [i]shape[/i] catches my eye that I find it. I'm always hunting for a good bit! Bits like that seem to be solid orange agate but you reckon that oxalic acid would rip the colour out of the oval one on the left, where it is in the veins and fissures? [img]https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3920/14838808054_2d11473c50_c.jpg[/img] Do post some piccies of your collection and the cleaning process, I'd be really interested to see it :) [/QUOTE]
