[QUOTE="Fossil_phile18, post: 433298, member: 13341"] It had some soft-ish host rock in places, which I skritched out carefully with a very sharp, pointy scalpel, then brushed with a toothbrush and toothpaste. Sandblasting nearly always damages the surface. Until you mentioned it, I'd never thought of using an ultrasound cleaner. Seems obvious now, thanks! :) :Y: Here's another 2 pieces of Opalised wood (really one piece broken in two; same field, different miner) which always remind me of the glowing embers in a fire burned down.
