Working on cleaning some super rad Fluorite crystals I dug recently. This one was very large but it disintegrated upon extraction. But there was some of the top of it that came out in several pieces which I'm cleaning. The bath is Super Iron Out for now and it is working well so far. Still needs many more soaks and scrubs with a toothbrush. I love the geometry of this funky crystal! Many of the fluorite I found were a truncated octahedron that looks like a soccer ball!
This is the view from the bottom of one of the pieces of the above crystal, backlit by the morning sun sitting in a fresh foot of snow! The green is apple; the purple is deep! Fairly gemmy but fractured up. I love the bands along the top of the crystal as seen from the below side view!
