Helpful Am cleaning different specimens now days and am researching cleaning massive calcite crystals and not enough found yet to make me take a chance on damaging a really nice, at least to me, specimen. 15 pound tumble barrel for scale in first picture. Thanks Rob, You longtime and more exerienced members are so helpful. Cliff
I think that acid would be really bad for your calcite crystals. In the fossils, I believe it's the calcite that the acid is eating away, leaving the chain coral behind. Thanks Rob, Me too. Don't want to eat the color or etch the crystals. Patient. Will keep looking around the web Cliff
