[QUOTE="Telling Ghosts, post: 488203, member: 14730"] Hi guys, Was just wondering if anyone could advise on how to clean up this piece of quartz crystal I found. [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/14730/1557269839_20190508_082546_-_copy.jpg[/img] I bought some deck cleaner which is 1-10% oxalic acid but not sure if that's ideal or not, would it be best to just throw it in the straight solution and soak it before scrubbing it clean or will I need something a bit more concentrated? I would also like to cut it down where the blue lines are marked and am unsure what to use for cutting it? I was thinking of using a dremel but it's too big for that. Thanks, TG. [/QUOTE]
