I found this amethyst plate on a recent dig here it is after I cleaned it in Iron Out. It weights about 35lbs and has a huge cluster on one end and has amethyst tinted Drusy crystals all over it. Thanks for looking Keith

Always a place for Amethyst!!! And you know I've always wondered what to use to clean druzy or the quartz crystals that seem to be tarnished .. wonder if you could tell me where you got your cleaner from?

It is called Super Iron Out and you can get it at Wal-mart or some grocery stores. In wal-mart it is in the plumbing supplies dept. It works good on iron and calcium stains. I use 1 cup to 1 gallon of water in a PLASTIC container and cover sit it the sun for a few days and take it out and wash off if needed put back for a few more. Make sure the rocks are clean not mud or dirt or it will kill the acid. Make sure you use rubber gloves when using this. After cleaning you need to put the rocks in water and let them sit to remove all the acid. Keith

You must have needed a pretty big bucket for that one, it looks huge!
